Wait, does that mean you need premium for this? Because that would be absolutely insane. I’ve pre-written the rant in case of “yes”:

* * *

I have 28 active goals and 21 of them need `integery`. I’m in another thread helping @heraclitus63 and they have 2 goals and both of them need `integery`. I am curious what the stats are for everybody else.

If I’m actually representative here and `integery` is more common than not, I would argue it ought to be on the `Basics` page. If I were king of the world, I would make all the timer apps report time in seconds rather than hours and then default `integery` to on for all non-weight goals.

What I would **not** do is tell people, new users and veterans included, that getting Beeminder to be less of a [quote=“lolernie, post:3, topic:1263”]  
engineer/programmer/sentient robot type of thing  
[/quote]

requires premium. I would not do this because:

1. It’s already hard enough to attract newbees. The graphs and math are already very nerdy. If you have to click `Terrifyingly Advanced` to get Beeminder to stop asking you to floss your teeth 0.17 times today, I don’t think it’s going to happen often.
2. Everything in the New Goal UI makes Custom Goals sound scary. What is so scary about not wanting to be talked to like a sentient robot?
3. This continues the [discouraging pattern of Beeminder premium features](http://forum.beeminder.com/t/why-should-you-pay-for-beeminder-premium/984/6) being work arounds / bug fixes rather than features. `integery` is a Category B feature from that post. I will not pay money for it.

EDIT: Updated stats since I created a new integery goal.
