That's an argument to make sure that the event *is* handled.
If the user is presented with a user interface that has a close box, the
most likely keystroke they'll make is one they are familiar with --
"experimenting" as you say.
I don't see how advising implementors to use a different keystroke for
"close" solves this problem.
