huh? knobs have at least two purposes: first and foremost, you grab them
and adjust your parameter. second, you look at them for an indication
where that parameter lies. so of course a "lineless" knob certainly
allows you to perform purpose #1, but #2 is impossible.

why do you think lines are there in the first place?
