I humbly disagree.
Brevity is important for a most streamlined workflow. Yes.

But:
If interfaces for two different tasks end up to be confusingly similar,
we are responsable for resolving such confusion. Breaking the usual 'design
rules' is among the options. I'd rather annoy the user with unexpected
dialog elements than let him go down a wrong road.

IANAL - IANAUE :-)

        cheers,
                Jw.
