Whenever possible I try and have only one start and one finish. This is not always possible as you say due to (my) time constraints, merging programmes together etc.
When I run the schedule I always try and remove some of the open ends. Having imparted this knowledge to other planners and suggested that they tie up the project, the danger is that they will add everything to the start project milestone and again to the end project milestone.
Some activities are not really linkable in a logical way - meetings for one. But linking everything to the start or finish is not a good idea.
In principle I agree with what you say, in practice, hmmm. Rain check.
