Another advantage of the "reset" function that I've used a lot myself: You're exploring a site and, the more you see, the more you think you might like to come back again. You don't necessarily want to bookmark the page where you figured that out; you probably want the introductory page.
It's a common occurrence for users, and that "home" function is familiar enough to grab without manually editing the URI in the browser's address bar. Breadcrumbs are good for that, too. I don't think the numbers tell everything about the usefulness of this or any other function (I've only needed a seatbelt once, but I was glad to have it), so Bryan's data doesn't surprise me. Some familiar controls may be worth keeping for the sake of user comfort and convenience, more than pure function. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
