I need you to read the chapters in Design Of Everyday Things about
forcing functions and confirmation prompts, and then reconsider your
position.

People do not read.  They will click through anything.  They will not
tell you they did so.  They will file bugs about it and not tell you
they clicked the expert button.  Once you finally figure out that they
did so you'll close it WONTFIX because they got what they deserved.
They will reopen it forever saying if you didn't want it done why is
there an option in the UI.

The only way to win is not to play.
