Yes, I feel the same here.

The wider workflow design issue needing resolved for the 'new empty instance' use case needs to be fixed at the Sugar UI level, so all activities benefit (AKA. start new vs. resume).

Yes, the warning alerts should really only be about preventing loss of modified work, it should not display if the game is one of the (unedited) demos, or already cleared.
