That really depends on the system at play; very often they are engaged through the same control; set the alerter, and you've assigned the autopilot an altitude to fly or capture. They may have different functions (alerting vs. a command), but in many cases, it's the same thing, scheduled through the same piece of hardware, with the same physical motion.

I don't see any value in it.
Not particularly surprising. You see what you want to see, and your narrow view is dictum as the only way. Your way, or nothing at all. There no value in such a view at all.

I did, and responded accordingly.
