There is also no reason you have to go 100% one way or the other- a combination
of mouse and knob can work really well. For example, I tune in most S&P contacts
using the mouse (not in the Sprint however), but I would hate to have to adjust 
the
RIT or volume using the mouse.

People will do it if it helps their score. Why do people waste years learning
how to do SO2R? :)
