So you say that the better answer is not to teach them to be careful 
when they fill those forms. It's to annoy them and teach them to 
copy&paste mistakes instead!

Besides, what is so special with electronic forms that we have to go 
through all kind of tricks to make sure the user doesn't make mistakes 
when regular paper forms just assume the user will be careful when he 
fills it? Must be some kind of IQ draining field emited by all the 
computers which only computer experts are immune to :D
