Sure. I'll look into that.

I'm not opposed to it. How do you suggest we do that?

Not really. We do it unconditionally for reason explained.

It says:

"disable the capture just in case X happens"

rather than

"disable the capture if X happens".

Perhaps the language is too subtle. I can reword for clarity.
