This seems to be an inescapable conclusion. I can configure certain aspects of

Perhaps the cell copying on edit/tracking that Corbin referred to has an 
influence here.
But as you say, it's all dependent on the opaque detail of the implementation.

I agree. Identify the cell type in #1.
Configure it in #2.

Thanks for taking the time to help clarify my murky thoughts on this.
