Is it really bad to unplug or plug-in controllers while the system is powered on?

[/dreamcast]

I saw this in a video this mornng, and it has me concerned. I use an ODE, and the only way for me to play Light Gun games (or Typing of the Dead), is to get through the ODE menu with a regular controller, then switch over to the correct one for the game.

Ok, I realize as I type this that my light guns have a d-pad and a few buttons, so maybe they can navigate the ODE menu; I'll have to try that. Still doesn't solve the issue of having to swap out the keyboard for ToTD though.
