Shift on autologous transfers?

You recommend using the “shift key workaround” when inserting memory rather than installing KB 967715. That makes sense for memory that may have been used on a variety of systems but do you extend the recommendation as well to memory that has been used only on one’s OWN system?

No need to use the shift key if you’re re-inserting a USB drive or SD card that’s never seen another system. If your machine’s clean, the memory will be clean, too.
