I imagined that people doing this work will double and triple check 
their work. Best if someone else looks at your work before you plug it 
in, just to catch mistakes you might be blind to.

I thought this went without saying, but since you've raised this point I 
will add it to the wiki.

Some mistakes will cause severe damage, and so should be warned against.
