A design decision. If simplicity is important to your target user, and 
having verified CD burns is also important to them, you just make 
verifying burns the default.

IIRC, verification is turned OFF by default in K3B. So a simple user 
using it backup files might have the backups silently fail ...

K3B takes the power approach: You want the power, you got the power. 
Here's hoping you know how to use it! ;-)
