Your English is superb, Phillipe, but in this case I suggest you refer to a dictionary for the definition of "dedicated". The notion of opting out does not fit. The aperture ring on an OM MF lens is dedicated to changing the aperture. Because it is dedicated to that task there is no way of causing it to do something else.

Unsure I was clear - I never mentioned a "separate" dial. A dedicated
one is enough I agree.

Not sure I understand. If it's dedicated to one function, it's separate.

dedicated means you can opt out and use it for a different function in
my mind - separate means it's a one function wheel/switch, here exposure
compensation
I prefer separate, but dedicated makes perfect sense to me too, hence my
agreement with you.

And I find it not only conveniently placed but also firm enough not
to randomly move at its own will (sic)

What I also meant was that there are three ways to check whether it
has been rotated by accident or for a previous shot, or not. No self
excuse accepted if I screw the shot ;-)

I hate my D700 for that unmarked flying wheel BTW. Accidents also
happened with the L1.

Hope this clarifies my intent.

Your intent was clear. I was expressing my different
experience/preferences.
