Of course you are right.

But providing a starting point to the application programmer (like GNU C 
does with the basic OpenMP pragma stuff ) would help to do a first step, 
that - depending on the problem to be solved - might only result in a 
very small or no improvement, but maybe can encourage the application 
programmer to to a deeper analysis and enhance his software 
appropriately (if the language constructs provided are tunable 
appropriately).
