When I use mechjeb and I have a Kerbal on board, I assume the Kerbal is doing the piloting. It would be fun if the accuracy of mechjeb was a function of the Kerbal crew's stupidity. The more stupid the Kerbal, the greater the error in what mechjeb tries to maintain. In the absence of a Kerbal (probe cores and such) the variation goes away.

So, for example, if you set a rover's max speed to 5m/s, a truly stupid (or brave) Kerbal might result in mechjeb setting the top speed to 15m/s for a short period of time.

And I guess make the above functionality optional, since not everyone would be amused if automated docking went horribly wrong due to some idiot Kerbal flipping switches.

no..... at least make this a none default disable-able(?!) option!

lets be honest when designing a new rocket for some new task - how much
world of fail do you go through as it is! - and you want to throw in a
bunch of extra random fail!

run screaming....
