The more important part is to first check for a signal, before 
attempting a tune.
Lack of doing so, will result in a lot of frustration in many cases. 
Though it is
completely upto oneself whether to do it or not.

The whole point is: there are 2 or more paths, which need to be selected 
for any
operation.
