It doesn't cripple, it _limits_ your options. If it had an option called "GUI suggestion" and it was Shredder who makes the suggestion, and you were _forced_ to use it every 5 moves, it still wouldn't bother Shredder, but it'd bother me a lot. Get the difference? I don't want the GUI to force me to do things like Shredder does.
