When confronted with this idiocy, I managed to escape by closing the
dialog box without clicking on any proferred buttons.

Not that for a second it excuses the thing, but I find something deeply
satisfying about cancelling a stupid question instead of responding to
it.  Perhaps some system could be developed where developers could find
out which questions their program asks are generally cancelled, and
rewrite their software not to ask them.  Or, almost as good, a USB
boxing glove would be installed on the developer machines, and for every
100 cancels of their questions, they would be punched in the face.
