Under normal circumstances, you'd be right.  But the concern here is the
overhead of (s)locate building its database at the wrong time.  If the
concern of waiting a few additional seconds or remembering the command line
for find outweighs your system's hard drive churning away in the middle of
a presentation, then stick with find.
