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. :-)
