-Disconnecting objects may confuse the circuitboard, may prevent selection of different objects or lock out objects from manual interaction.

That will also clear the console of any past objects that either aren't connected anymore or have been renamed. It's annoying and can be dangerous if you fiddle with these setups (beyond regular use) whilst low on oxygen, hydration or nourishment, so be aware of that.
