I always liked how CT stonewalled you if any field contained invalid
info, and does not let you proceed until you fix it.
Using the SS "Prec" field as the example again, suppose you
finger-fault the keyboard and enter "N" instead of "M". If this was
only flagged for post-contest fixing, you are forced to decide if that
"N" is really "M" or "B" (both one position away on the keyboard).
