Or even the "this text is read only" message in the mini-buffer when hitting delete at the ellipsis after a headline? I can see both sides (it's come up before): 1) that it's "just text" like everything else so what should one expect but also 2) it doesn't *behave* like text and especially for newer individuals when you keep hitting delete because you don't get what's going on or you lose track of the cursor and press some key combination... it is a bummer.
