It's bad. One time I mistakenly reversed the source/destination when sending my roommate two months of rent money and I over drafted his account because it took the money without asking his permission.

Once the accounts are linked, either party can pull/push money without the other's approval.

That sounds like whatever user interface allowed you to use the remote account as a source was equally to blame.
