I think you've missed the point here.  Defaults should not
lead to a disaster and if someone had to make a non-default
choice at the last prompt to avert one, some bigger changes

The default thing to happen should not be a risk.  There are still
places where human intervention is necessary for final choices but
most of what I do on a computer is the same every day.
