I think it depends upon the circumstances - if you're just doing some backing strumming in a band in a pub and all you've got handy is a parlour guitar to plug in, then you'll probably get away with it in that setting, but it probably wouldn't cut the mustard in a more focussed environment.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

I have a 20 year old D28 which finger picks surprisingly well but I wish I had a good OM as well.
As I get older, I can see more acoustics being purchased....
Having said that, there are times when I have to play out completely unplugged and having a dreadnought for that helps for volume. I'm glad I have both options. I also like having the option of Spruce/Rosewood or Spruce/Mahogany - they do sound different.
The gap in my acoustic collection may be for a maple bodied jumbo.
Should this discussion be moved to the acoustic section?

For a student though I'd steer them towards something comfortable for a beginner, a smaller body would probably be a preferable starting point for a lot of people (and a lot of people prefer to play on their right leg).
