I was wondering about that, but didn't see my code setting lots of seen flags, so wasn't sure. I now realise that the reason for that is that I generally preseed the things I don't want to be asked, even if I'm going to set them via script, and the act of preseeding them to a place-holder value also sets the seen flag. Then you get to override that in a script without worrying about also setting the seen flag at that point.
