   Non-keyed connectors

   I tend to like assurances that the right connector is   
   in the right place.  And, I think users -- when faced with   
   multiple connectors -- like some reassurance that they've   
   mated them correctly.   
      
   But, if I can deduce the role of the actual connection from   
   the data observed, is there a downside to NOT keying the   
   connector(s)?  (aside from the fact that it requires LOOKING   
   at the signals before you can make that assertion -- if you   
   haven't looked, do you really *care* about Schrödinger's cat
