Not human error in copy/paste, but human error in not having a clue what
each UUID refers to in the end when you need to know this shit because
something stops working ;-).

I agree with that...

Yeah, but the worst thing that can usually happen is that you have 2
disks with the same label.
Apart from a short confusion that is easy enough to solve I guess.
At least, as long as systemd won't start to randomly mount/umount stuff
on a continuing basis because it gets confused as to the existence of
two labels... I seem to have a vague recollection of something ;-).
Anyway, bah.
