The main trouble with 301 redirects is that no one remembers or knows that the page they want to redirect already has a 301 or 302 redirect in place. Fortunately usually creating a 301 redirect for 302 redirect doesn't work and it is easy to identify, but if the client wants a 301 redirect for a certain url we may create chained redirects by accident. Occasionally this is intentional, so thank you for the justifications to explain why it should be avoided! Very interesting article!
