My two cents:

I agree. Reloading a system is the path of least resistance. In any 
situation
where knowledge is gained from experience (Such as figuring out what is
eating system resources and then fixing the culprit), the path of least 
resistance
removes any opportunity opportunity to learn. And as we all know, if you 
don't
learn how things work, you'll end up reloading systems forever instead 
of applying
knowledge that enables you to repair a problem in a matter of minutes.
