No more dumb than your own.

All you're doing is inverting the exception.  If Myth were changed to
your liking, all those that *don't* want their recordings clipped
would have to fix their schedules to prevent it from happening.

So, the question then becomes:  why are you right and Myth is wrong?

Now, speaking for myself, I explicitely *don't* want Myth clipping my
recordings.  It would appear the devs take a similar stance.
