"Set for now" is my standard response, which seems to encourage left seat complacency about the whole checklist.

I agree... I think the best compromise would be for the fuel control switches/levers/pulleys/hamster wheels should be duel verified.... but that's it.

Nothing more dangerous than leaving the beacon on....
