Yes, this is indeed the correct approach.

That's a good general rule of thumb.
But I am talking about something that is very specific here that is
currently being implemented incorrectly, and if general rule of thumb
overrides what is a standard primary mode of communication of the true
state of the interface, the designer has failed to provide the correct
interface.
