Effects and double channel entry.

Question

Hello. 
 I'm working on the tutorials and in part one when making a step based effect I first have to enter the channels in to the effect in the editor and then back in live I have to pick the once more to apply the effect. Why? Best would be if the effect was witout specific channels. And then I can add what ever channels that have that attributes used.

If you use an absolute effect that's how it works 
 You define the steps with no channels, just the color palette or intensity value etc 
 When you run it you select a bunch of channels and apply the effect 
 I think the step based effects are either for historic compatibility or if you want to do something a bit more obscure.
