No, they simplify the *default* interface and make *that* easier to
learn.  Who could be against that?

The issue is "what about the case where there's no TOOWTDI default?"
Where TOOWTDI is somewhere around "more than 80% of the time for more
than 80% of the users when they want a specific value for the
parameter every time on this code path" (vs. choosing that value at
runtime).
