Self-training and 100% knowledge of how everything is supposed to work are two completely different things. Far too many people just click on things until it works without any understanding of why and won't even ask the question. I have talked to and helped well over 1,000 hams now and many of them have no grasp of the underlying technicalities.
Adding such a feature would reduce future "bug reports" where we have to explain to people that their rig won't do what the software indicates. I may implement this idea anyways and if you don't want to use it that's your choice. Just seems better to me that the GUI indicates the underlying rig capability.
