When I make the conscious decision to play with connected stairs, it is
A: because not having a staircase I could have arrived on the level by
doesn't make sense to me, and B: because that way I have a known avenue
of retreat if I need one. If I decide a level is too dangerous, and
retreat from it by the stairs I arrived on, I don't see why that should
deny me the ability to gain an impression of the new level I arrive at
in the same way as I gain impressions of most levels.

For the record and what it's worth: aside from occasional things at DL1
to wait for shops to restock, I've never done level-related s***ming,
and I neither intend nor expect that to change.
