If you are actually trying to do something to resolve the situation, why would you want a progress stopping pop-up forcing you out of actually doing the thing you need to do? Especially if it forces you to pick out of two options when the thing you are trying to do is figure out which option is appropriate?

Using EMR systems are nightmares for anyone actually doing things, but great for figuring out what was documented later. The two are rarely related.

If someone is trying to land a plane, would a pop-up about an engine fire that takes over all control input also be a good idea?
