Yes, I agree with these sentiments.

My parents died 14 and 17 years ago and I still can't put their death dates on my tree.  I know what they are so I don't need to record them.

I don't know the date my dad died. I know the month and year, and when it was within two days, but I've deliberately blocked the exact date, so I won't ever enter it on my database.

It is good to know this obsession does have some limits.
