Which it *definitely* is. The user is not an idiot (well, should not
be), and the reason of the alert is to allow him to rethink once more,
*NOT* to hinder his workflow eg. by forcing him to switch from
keyboard to mouse!
Users habitually start pressing return 2 times when a dialog appears
often - without reading the actual alert. This has nothing to do with
being an idiot, but with easy growing habits.
As a programmer you cannot prevent users growing these habits, you just
should prevent serious mishap that could happen due to "irresponsible"
behaviour.
