I meant C-x C-v.

I don't necessarily disagree, for one.
Richard's point was that not all special-mode buffers are non-precious. Your
point is that not all special-mode buffers are precious.
My point was about Dired (only): to not have Dired inherit from
special-mode-map. The problem was expressed in terms of Dired mode. But the
fix was to special-mode-map.
So far, the only special-mode buffers mentioned have been *Help* and Dired. To
me, *Help* is far from precious and Dired is one where I agree with Richard that
you don't want to be accidentally killing the buffer.
I can't speak to what is most appropriate for special mode in general. My point
was about Dired, where I agree with Richard about the annoyance/problem, but I
don't agree about the wider-ranging fix.

That is what I proposed: separate Dired from special-mode.
