According to the "faithful output" principle or the "think console" philosophy suggested in knitr documentation, and considering that having an empty chunk with fig = TRUE is not a problem in knitr, I'm starting to wonder if fig = TRUE shouldn't be the default option. What's the argument to keep it FALSE. Personally, when I put a plot in my code, it's to see it in my document. Isn't fig=FALSE a relic from Sweave ?
