Right.
It's impossible to flag all newbie errors anyway. But every error that 
gets flagged will make the learning curve less steep, which is generally 
a Good Thing IMHO.
Once people get used to the issues (iow as soon as the warnings become 
more annoying than helpful), they'll turn warnings off.
