Verbosity of the messages to the screen vs what gets logged to disk are kind of separate things. Valid right now: logging to disk, no output to screen other than seed. (-qq) logging to disk, output seeds & watchdog progress counter (-q) logging to disk, syscall details (no args) logging to disk, verbose output (-v) and 'no log' variants of all. I'm not sure we can really express 8 possibilities into one arg and without people needing to look up what the values represent.
