Touching Artifacts with gloves does not activate them.

[Lefinch]

I both like this and have often died from mentioned lag spikes, unfortunately mis-timed clicks and just outright fumbling. However, I do personally feel that there's probably some sort of line between quality of life and the excitement/horror of workplace industrial accidents on the world's least OSHA-compliant station, and completely preventing accidental touches with gloves in my mind is a lot like installing an automatic stabilizing solution into dangerous chemicals, or giving miners actually radiation-resistant gear at round start. God I'd kill to have the industrial suit at round start, but it does somewhat change the very dynamic of risk that also seems to draw so many people in.

So I don't know. I personally am all for this, but the idea that this just slightly crosses the line into taming a core philsophy of the game itself makes me fret a little inside.
