Why is creating new DO schools bad?

So, I posted a few threads on sdn a couple of months ago when i was going through the application process. Since then I continually check new threads because this seems to be an addiction I can't kick. Regardless, I've been very confused on why much of the sdn posters think opening new DO schools are/is a bad idea. In my honest opinion, I would have assumed the creation of new DO schools would just emphasize and propagate the osteopathic mentality throughout the general public (which is greatly needed). I'm thrilled to be attending pcom in august and proud of my accomplishments, but i do wish that the general public at least new what DO freakin stood for (philosophically and literally).
thanks for your time reading.

Creating more DO schools is not a bad idea.

Creating more schools, but NOT creating more residency positions, while still bitching about the importance of "Osteopathic GME" IS a bad idea.

more schools = less selective admissions = eventual surplus of $hitty physicians = bad healthcare/less money for me.
