	I disagree. It is no more a fail safe than the felt in the rep  
window, which limits the jack's travel (and also prevents a click).  
That limiting felt has a big impact on repetition speed and  
reliability. If you get a chance to watch the Kawai video, you'll see  
it pretty dramatically.
	When an action is played at high speeds and volumes, parts flex and  
compress beyond expected parameters.
