Serious question, why does everyone say you can't mix silk and denim?

I made a blazer last week with a silk lining and a heavy denim shell, thinking it would be a mess. The silk didn't rip at all and the jacket drapes way better than my old polyester-lined ones. I learned that a good seam allowance and a walking foot on my machine made it work. Has anyone else tried a fabric combo people said would fail?

Used to think that was a bad idea too.

Totally get that. I was in the same boat for the longest time. It took seeing it work out for a friend to really change my mind on it. Now I look back and wonder why I was so against it.
