Absolutely - bad tagging should be fixed by correcting tags.

If compilation tag is set, that always wins.  If no compilation tag is set, 
then if necessary to group tracks together, it will set the comp flag such that 
there is one album artist (Various Artists).  If the answer is not what the 
user expects, they can fix it via changing tags. That could be by adding an 
album artist tag, or by adding a compilation tag, or by correcting artist 
contributors.

It all hangs together perfectly logically as it is to me.  

There already is a way of turning off the automatic behaviour - set a comp tag, 
or set album artist tag.  The presence of either means that no auto logic 
occurs.  I don't really see the problem with that.

Turning off auto compilation detection doesn't make sense to me - if there's no 
album artist and varying artists on an album, what should it then do?  It would 
only not muck up for you because you have album artist tags.

It's a safeguard to ensure that an album has one album artist contributor.  
Turning off the safeguard doesn't help anyone, I think; just allows the library 
content to be wrong in a different way.
