i have not said that i want to remove the option to make mistakes.
i just said, that we should not _enforce_ the user to make mistakes.

it seems to me a "feature", the sole purpose of which is to slap the
user on their forehead until they learn that they should take care. and
even if they had learned to take care, they will still be slapped.
so why should anyone want to implement this?

at least in austria, slapping children for educational purposes is -
while still practiced by several individuals - officially forbidden, and
i am glad it is...;-)
