Our past overuse aside, it's just easy to ignore chatter. It often
happens to me that I realize 10 minutes after I did something that I
didn't look carefully enough at the output ... which is usually
followed by an attempt to scroll back through my terminal buffer to
find it. But after a few thousand lines of subsequent output that's
hard. So I like the idea of making the information available
on-demand, rather than only at creation time.
