You have probably not had this stability problem because you don't have an NVidia based graphic card (I have a GForce2 DDR) and use the NVidia drivers. Still, even AMD people have recognized this problem formally and recommend the use of this parameter . . . There is no "forcing" this on all users and it's not very stupid. It's also possible you don't stress your machine enough to see the probem. I agree about the description for the flag - but there should at least be an option during install to add it or not . . .
