I'd be reasonable with DiD as well. If my phone rings and distracts me, or I'm tired as heck and just do something wildly stupid and unrealistic, I'll reload. The game requires house rules like this, and from my perspective house rules only work when they bring the right (i.e. realistic) results.

Otherwise DiD makes the game extremely rewarding and thought-provoking. There were several times when I was left pretty much shocked by consequences of my own decisions, and times when I really got immersed in the tension, because the risks felt very heavy. The real payoff of DiD is not so much the challenge as that golden grail or simulations - suspension of disbelief.
