Hi Frank,
GI4NKB:
>Why would I want to remove my hands from
keyboard and mouse to reach across a bench to fiddle with knobs when a
mouse click or click and drag can do the same only quicker? To state
that a mouse or keyboard does not make for rapid tweaking is akin to
saying a keyboard and mouse does not make for rapid letter writing.
I would ask the article's author Vic K1LT who
has "been there and done that". I notice many who are "no
knobs" advocates are never seen high in contest standings.
K1LT actually does place well in contests so I tend to attach
some credibility to his comments.
I found 112 K1LT contest results hits below:

...but I don't see any results for GI4NKB. When I begin to
see some "no knobs" folks placing high in actual results,
then I will become a true believer. Until then, I am like
the guys from Missouri..."Show Me".
>Yes it will because then more people will be staring at a spectrum scope
and clicking on it to qsy to any intersting looking signals but
wondering why they then have to leave this environment to fiddle with
knobs
The beauty of a K3 / Panadapter is that you can use
mouse, knobs or both. You are not forced to only either/or.
