I responded privately to this in some detail. Publicly I'll just say that while this suggestion is good in theory, and certainly something we attempt to do, anyone who has raised a few children understands that teaching them responsibility is a long, arduous process, and that they'll fail at it innumerable times along the way.
You don't need to tell me and my children that. :-) But you have to attempt at every possible chance. Consistency is the secret. Teaching them responsibility only some of the time only confuses them.

Fair enough, but it's also inconsistent to let them fall back on "well it will turn itself off in a few minutes".
