I just don't get 'why'. Ok, the system should do its job and protect the aircraft, but isn't everything about safety and redundancy? What do we gain out of not pressing it compared to pressing it. Pressing it gives you one more level of protection, not pressing it... saves you a push?
If they want it that way, that's fine, I'll do it, but only once I get a memo or revision confirming it. Otherwise it will just be another moment of some captain going "why did you do that?".
