Agreed, but this is more like programming the car to tell you that
the grocery store you are going to is a stupid choice compared to one
that is much closer and less expensive.
The buzz was added to cars because there were sufficient numbers of
people who had suffered loss of their car. If we start getting
reports that there are similar problems with draw objects, we can
certainly revisit this. But until then, setting the Radius property
of a rectangle will simply do nothing, since it isn't used.
