Sorry that your clumsy fat fingers cost you a bunch of money, maybe next time you should double check your figures before mashing the confirm button.

I have encountered this issue. Fortunately I didn't lose much over it.

In the real world, transactions like this take a few seconds to happen, so you can easily say "whoa, waitaminute, that's not what I meant to do!" and the one you're working with will most likely let you fix it. Nobody does real business the way chess is played--in chess once you pick your finger off the piece, the move is done and you can't take it back. If people did business that way, other people would form unions against it and it would become profitable to avoid that attitude.

So I support this idea, both to increase immersion and to decrease frustration.
