Yes, I agree with that. If in doubt be cautious, but sometimes there is no doubt.   
If you have already read my reply to you on my talk page you may like to go back and read it again, because I have thought about it a bit more and changed it. On a completely different issue, your "You have new messages (last changes)" banner on this page is really not helpful, as it is likely to confuse and mislead people. I'm sure there is a guideline somewhere that mentions exactly this sort of thing, but without guidelines if you think about it you should be able to see that there is a potential problem.
