What about if it goes "phut" when you really need it?
This is the same reasoning I put on the slob knob debate - it's a tool and if you need one fine, BUT accept it's a potential failure point and therefore use it in such a way that means if it DOES fail, then it's only an inconvenience, rather than another disaster, that IT was supposed to get you out of. ie, use a slob knob in an equalising, rather than a shutting off capacity.
