When prompted:
A compilation process is running; kill it? (yes or no)
if we say "no",
our screen flashes, like we were a bad boy,
and we see
"Cannot have two processes in ‘*compilation*’ at once"
OK, but why the beep/flash "spanking"?

It isn't meant as a rebuke. It just means that the command could not
proceed.

Yeah, but the fire trucks are already at the scene. No need to turn the
siren back on.

When you type "no" it proceeds, and then errors out. The error will
beep at you, so everything here seems to be working as designed, and I'm
closing this bug report.

"You can't have two cars on the same one lane road.
Proceed? (yes, no)."
No.
(And then you redirect him over the cliff instead of just pressing the
brake.) OK, never mind.

Same broken behavior in Dired:
File V_20211207_080008_vHDR_On.mp4 is large (27.7 MiB), really open? (y)es or (n)o or (l)iterally
If we say "n" we get a flash or beep, and
user-error: Aborted
OK, but no need for the flash/beep.
P.S., if we say y,
then it assumes we want to see the bytes.
But it should know we probably want to watch
it as a movie.
Sure we might not even have a movie player installed,
but that's what most people want to do with mp4's.
