   Ringing a bell is much harder on your ears and concentration.

   I don't count the number of replacements I'm expecting to be made
so a report of 9 replacements is unlikely to give me useful
information: how do I know that 9 is the correct number rather than 8
or 10?

   Because it is detail that is uninteresting in the vast majority of
cases. You do know that something was replaced because there is no
message saying that the operation failed.
