| Never call `find-file' from elisp.

I assume the reason is because find-file is meant to be used
interactively?
I use find-file in my .emacs.el, and realized that I need a generic
defun if find-file is not "good".
This is what I've been using:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<f6>") #'(lambda ()
(interactive)
(find-file "~/.emacs.el")))
Is this "wrong", and why?
I assume something like the following is a good way to avoid find-file,
but it seems overly elaborate:
(defun quick-find (file)
"Find the file FILE."
(let ((buffer (find-file-noselect file)))
(switch-to-buffer buffer)))
It also appears to do pretty much the same as find-file itself.
Comments?
