Double Team, Minimise, Sand Attack and the other accuracy reducing move are all simply cheat moves.
I also hate Protect and Detect, because they drag out battles for too long, despite the fact that they're helping no-one by using them. Enemy pokémon also have a bad habit of continuosly usuing them every other turn. I like my battles to be quick, pure slaughter when I'm in a hurry, and these moves prevent me from doing so.
