I'm not sure we disagree (unless it's disagreeing about whether we disagree,
and we might even agree about that disagreement!).

We seem to agree that consistency is generally good but that there can be
exceptions. And we seem to agree that "click" in a tooltip (instead of
"click `mouse-1'") is a reasonable exception. And we seem to agree that this
discussion has probably already yielded anything of value that it had to
offer. ;-)
