you mean something that should have been there in the first place? If adding it stops another pilot getting airborne with faulty mags he hasn't checked properly, you can't really argue that it is a bad thing.
All military helicopters I have flown have extensive checklists that are committed to memory and not one of them has taken as long as 10 mins to start and get airborne including first flight functional checks.
Commercial pilots are usually required to complete challenge and response checks from lists so what is the problem with checklists?
You cannot account for EVERY mishap that "might" occur. We don't need the manufacturer or the FAA to hold our hands throughout the entire flight. Some pilots just need to take responsibility for not being attentive. Its true for all the LTE accidents as well as all those "too much in a hurry to perform a simple hover check" pilots who just get light and yank it away,...and those douchebags who took off with the governor "off" causing overspeeds, which then led to the checklist being changed (again) to leaving it "on" all the time!
Some things just don't need to be on a checklist.
