It's a policy to keep users from learning bad things. You should never suggest --force or a package from AUR unless you attach a big fat warning, otherwise it would mean to encourage them to do it in other (seemingly indifferent) cases, eg. updating filesystem with --force can mess things up pretty badly.
you can always suggest to remove the file(s) in question manually, or better, move to another location, then install w/o "--force". sounds better, makes it more clear what's happening, and doesn't invite trouble in the future.
