I've heard a statistic tossed around at Wings seminars stating that
most engine failures occur during a change or adjustment. Guest
engine experts seem to always agree not to touch anything if it's
still running and high confidence of the exact problem isn't
available.

Which would seem to indicate that if you can consistantly fly with
just two engine settings (full power and idle) you are less likely to
get unwelcome engine related surprises... grin
