You know me - I'm just giving you a hard time, Dave.

As far as we're concerned, our autonomous is set up so that it can only run once no matter what. Once it starts, you're forced to cycle power to get it to go again. So for us, the STOP button is just as good as the disable since we're going to have to reboot to do another test anyway. I guess if we test using LabVIEW's play button, we can just push the LabVIEW stop and then play again to clear the memory and that is much quicker than a full reboot, but with deployed code it doesn't matter how we end auton.
