Yes, good advice Stu. This is also why we don't "let the machinery" make decisions about it. The subtleties of what is or isn't 'correct' are pretty hard to code. Thus we let our reviewers handle it. Sometime it's overkill, sometimes things slip through the cracks but overall it's been working reasonably well.
