Clearly, you lose plenty of shots by messing about with histograms.
Yes it's easy to check for over exposure - there's nothing clever
about that- but you still have to correct the shot if you discover over
exp. in the histogram.

And of course you don't if you have doubts about the first one. :-(


This is less time consuming than
fiddling about with the tft display controls.

By using the display properly you are not left unsure, you 'know' and
you know both what and why. Thats better than taking another shot on
the grounds that you weren't sure of the last one and hope to be more
sure of the next.

Useless knowledge if your subject has walked, crawled or run away.

Yet you say "I re-take the shot if I'm unsure of exposure etc.". I
suppose you have to walk, crawl or run after your subject.



As modern DSLRs are festooned
with controls, it's too easy to accidentally put the camera into an
unintended
mode and it's not possible to use an ever-ready case due to the controls
on the back of the camera.

You are writing rubbish and I strongly suspect you are a troll.

Not even incorrect.

Double-negative = 'correct'.

You sound more like a gadget freak than a photographer.
