There is no point in doing more than one of them. Choose side first,
then do either one of them twice to get your 2 shoulder pads (doc
for clanners, the other for omnis). It might not be obvious for new
players, true.

The interface should make mis-typing hard, but it shouldn't try to
predict whether something was a mistype and whether you actually
wanted to do it. It shouldn't override your decisions.

Other tenets: to be transparent, consistent and avoid modalities and
interruptions.
