How could I disagree?! But used sparingly it can be quite useful for 
digging into particular issues -- the effect of PDF type on MPI 
simulation or the effect on the PYTHIA shower of disabling MPI are two 
cases where I've wanted this feature. Of course, we'd never accept any 
submitted Rivet analyses that required this feature, no generator should 
write its internals as standard, etc., but in small doses I think 
there's a case for it. YMMV.
