I know how to use my SLR, I regularly use it in full manual tuning every last exposure variable in manual focus, sometimes with multiple manual flashes too.
Yet, I still try to remember to leave the camera in P when I put it away and often shoot in P. It's a relatively idiot proof mode; it's unlikely that, if I just pick up the camera and shoot because I'm in a hurry for whatever's in front of me, P will give me a ridiculous, unusable exposure.
