but that that is not the same as being "...*really* expected to use a
mirror."
This issue is simply a bug and there is nothing flagged up in the Guide
to indicate that not choosing a mirror is bad or to help a user avoid
this bug or similar ones. Blaming the victim (...you should know what
you're doing...) is not helpful.
