I don't have to click-away *dialog boxes*. I can get rid of them with a 
keystroke, they're designed to go away, right away. That's one reason 
verification dialogs are so pointless, they're too easy to accept 
accidentally and approve whatever it is you're trying to protect the 
user from.

Inline errors, though, change the content of the page you're viewing. 
They hide the very page you need to look at to deal with whatever 
caused the problem.

If you don't want lots of dialogs, there are lots of alternatives. You 
can use an aggregate dialog. You can put a notification icon next to 
the name or address of the page until you're ready to deal with it. 
Anything but inline errors.

There's stuff above here
