Still want more opinions! Here's a wrinkle.

What good does it do for an application to ask a user if it is okay to
do something if when the user says, "Yes", it does something
completely different?

Are you saying that something I wrote makes you think you would implement code that would do that?

I hope not. The scenario you're suggesting is an example of poor UI, and I didn't write anything that should have been interpreted as suggesting that you do something like that.

Is that a realistic question? What is your opinion on asking before
performing an online database registration check?

I don't see the connection between the two. Of course, you already know my opinion on the latter. :)
