Easy fix for that — don't! If there's a number there, there's work to be done, just do it. The only time you need to audit the badge count is if it still says there is work to be done, and you can't find it.

Granted ... however on a task list, that advantage can also lead to confusion (as noted by the author of this thread) and possible accidents (ooops ... I just checked off that entire group when I really was not finished with its last three actions).

Well, you can accidentally check off a project or action group in project mode, too. I suppose not having the auto-complete ones show up at all somewhat reduces the risk of fat-fingering it, depending on how often you use the auto-complete option, but it seems like a more complete solution would be to either not show project/action group headers at all in task lists (already an option in context mode, and perhaps forecast view ought to respect the setting as well) or remove the ability to check them off without first completing the actions.

I think we are saying the same thing here. I'll amend though to state that I would be happy if unchecking a group/project while holding a modifier would uncheck all of its contents. That would be a time saver.

Your original text was "checking a Project completed checks all its actions" and I disagree, having found no place where I can produce that behavior. Apparently we aren't saying quite the same thing :-)
Uncheck the group/project, select the contents, right-click and uncheck Complete. No joy on the iOS devices, but your modifier proposal doesn't work there, either.
The iPad app handles the issue of differentiating actions and projects/action groups by styling the projects and action groups differently (in a bold font). Unfortunately, the iPhone/iPod app uses that bold font all the time...
