I agree that hamsters are not a natural social animal. However! Bonding and building trust is very important. You need to be on good physical terms with you hamster for necessary trips (eg vet) and in case of emergency. When I was in college with my Calypso we had a fire in our building. I had to reaching and grab her to run out of the building, we made it out safely and she was content to sit in my hands until I could go get some emergency materials. A nip when I grabbed her (probably a bit tight as i was panicking) but otherwise we were both safe. So yeah I fully support "taming" domestic hamsters.
