       It is plain common sense not to edit automatically generated code,
       something all programmers learn sooner or later.
   
   I do not understand your mental model of a person who uses Emacs.

Unfortunately the above statement is true, independent of Emacs.

I have this just the beginnig of my .emacs:

(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
(load custom-file t t t)

This make custom write somewhere else nad not pollute my .emacs, and
allows me to override its settings, because its settings are loaded
first. 

I think that this should be the *default* behaviour of customise, and
that it should never touch the user's .emacs.

However, my solution is just hiding the problem you mention, I fear.
