I don't like the idea that a technical fact counts more
than humans habits. The main idea of a user friendly system is for
that it adapts to the users behavior.
this sounds like "if a guy drives too fast, then he should crash -
no need for better breaks and stuff like ABS,
ESP, AirBag or whatelse...". THIS is unacceptable to me.
if users have different opinions, just offer options...

a truly good system should be fool save.
especially cuz sometimes I am a fool as well ;-)
