No solder blobs to get out ;-) I'm sure you're just poking some fun, Tom, but seriously, there's no reason to ever have solder fly, drip or drop off of a soldering iron. Excess is wiped off.
Carpet is usually the least of my worries about loose solder bits. I'm thinking of soldering a broken connection in a ship's radar console working through the top and directly above a dozen densely-stuffed pc boards, power supplies, etc. Just like the surgeon in an operating room, that's one time you never want to have to say "Oops.."
