I like quadras for speed and process of elimination and the "potential" behavior descriptions for functions are nice if they all match.
But yes a bit of your own matching of functions to information elements can be where that confirmation moment comes from.
Matching functions to information elements as a starting point can lead me astray though as I find the quadra behavior to be more distinct than individual function placement.
