I'll buy that. I can't see that one could establish a ranking of
importance of parameters, but I agree that differentiation of
parameters by knob variations could be helpful. Or maybe it comes down
to the same thing: someone might differentiate the knobs according to
their ranking of importance, but to me it would just look like
arbitrary differentiation. :-)
