Thank you for sharing this!I have considered such a manual approach. What I'm concerned about however, is that I would too often need to check if a change was intentional and might get used to just pressing "yes" without being actually sure if something was meant to change.
So I'm not sure if that would be the most feasible for me. But how interesting that I'm not the only one who thought about that approach!
