Oh Rolfe, I think ANYONE here isn't as fool as you think, and can get the
film into the right place if they want to make a conscious effort to do so,
and I believe that has nothing to do with the issue.  By your logic, we
don't need a rewind knob, unless you're one of the "unfortunate souls" who
can't seem to get their teeth to bite onto the film rewind knob to rewind
the film.
