Well, horses for courses. But I came by my opinion from a non-manager
perspective. The only person whose FM interface I have control over is
_me_, and I've modified mine as I described in order to _help_me_ avoid
errors or carelessness. 

Then again, maybe I just don't respect my own autonomy enough. ;-)
