Huh?!? In theory, that's right. In practice it becomes a habit. And when you make a habit of it the "root pause" still does exist, but progressively sees its power decrease. I am very careful when I do something potentially risky. But sometimes I happen not to realize that something is risky at all! Fortunately this happens rarely enoug, but it happens, as stupid as it may look like: for example when I mv'ed a file over my mailbox on a certain account.

However I get the point: it seems that approximately half of the people thus far agrees with me that as humans (as opposed to Gods) we can fail and we should have a second chance, and another half believes that errors are rare enough and remedies are easy enough to take that we should stick for KISS sake with the current behaviour. That's fine for me. I only want to explain that one reason why I didn't think of the CB is that... ehm... I'm not familiar with it. Really I don't even like it. In fact I have it disabled.
