Default Preventing cakes from sticking to the pan

I was watching a baking show and the lady said she always kept a mixture -
1/3 Crisco, 1/3 veg oil and 1/3 flour - in her cupboard to spread on the
bottom of her cake pans so the cake doesn't stick to the pan. She said the
reason she doesn't use some type of spray is that a spray gets on the side
of the pan and the side of cake pans aren't supposed to have anything on
them. Can someone tell me why the sides of cake pans shouldn't be greased or
coated with a spray etc.. Thanks
