Couldn't agree more.  The key word here is repeatedly; the occasional use 
clearly does no harm, or very little. This just hasn't been thought
through 
very well by the SG-1 writers; they were left with the movie's legacy of a

sarc and while they had decided to leave it in the series (would have been

easy to leave it out, had they wanted to) they forgot to come up with good

enough reasons for SGC not obtaining one at some stage.
