No? Sorry, I had to try :P

Actually, we should. They're an unreliable crutch; by training people that they have a second chance, we train them to pull the trigger first, and /then/ stop to think if they know what they're doing. Which, as soon as they're on a system that doesn't have these aliases, means they shoot themselves.

(And I know I'm not the only one with that opinion...)
