Yes true and the KPA500 has a like menu to power up in Operate mode.   At the same time, I think bringing a station up in Operate mode is much like starting a car in gear.  Oh by the way, older cars and trucks with manual transmissions, column or floor shift,  could be started in gear.  Not usually with good outcomes either.
