Of course, that's why I was careful to say that it does matter sometimes.
The change is not going to be beneficial in 100% of the cases.  But if
it is an improvement in the majority of the cases, then that's still
progress. Those of us who are occasionally in the situation where it
isn't have the option of switching the setting back.
