I don't disagree that pushing the wrong button inadvertently is one of 
the things that most of us do from time to time.

GUess I see that as a cockpit issue -- unless we endow the radio 
with a generic "undo" button to correct out mistakes.  

The ultimate solution, of course, is that the radio respond not to 
what we do, but what we INTENDED to do.  Let's see if Gary can 
handle THAT firmware update :-)
