ASM group/user

I'm just starting to look at using ASM on a standalone db and was looking at 2052802.1.  It talks about using these groups:

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 504 asmadmin

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 506 asmdba

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 507 asmoper

and these users:

/usr/sbin/useradd -u 501 -g oinstall -G asmadmin,asmdba,asmoper grid

I've come under some other influences locally that just used the oracle userid to own/handle all this.  Also, this tutorial seems to do the same:

Installing Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server

I'm wondering if I'm digging a hole of trouble if I do not split out to these users/groups?

Howdy, Stranger!
