I also said "busy". Your description is exactly why I use an action. I
want to repeat exactly the same set of operations over an over w/o having
to hassle it out each time.

Hmm. I wouldn't characterize an action as a "lazy" way of getting results.
The notion of using an action is to automate tasks of arbitrary complexity
that you want to be repeatable and that might be used many times. I have
defined many many actions to make it easy and consistent to get the
results I want without mistakes.
So this action allows one to pick a simple set of parameters and
consistently, repeatably get a particular look. The same thing would be
possible with the built-in controls, is built on the built-in controls,
but if you wanted to do it 100 times you would likely find it a bit
tedious to do, and likely would find yourself making mistakes doing it
that way.

It's basically a lazy or busy person's way of getting the results they
want
without having to do a lot of thinking about it.
