Those are basically the same assumptions I had. I was curious to find out if there were more points I should be aware of. To answer your question, in case the cons outweigh the pros. If I felt an overwhelming majority of the people on the list said, "In my experience you should always set flags because you'll run into a, b, c, d, e, f, g, etc." I would probably agree to avoid the latter practice altogether.
