I'd like not to have to puzzle why a badge count is telling me I have 6 more steps to complete a project when in truth I really only have 3.

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).
A general iPod preference setting would help ... [ ] Show (Contained) Action Groups in Forecast View. The optional (Contained) term could distinguish "complete with last action" (contained) groups from their kin (open) groups. But then, this is splitting hairs ... just include a preference or toggle to show/hide Action Groups in Forecast View on the iPod.

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.
