The reasoning here was that in the event that you took the car to someone
"not in the know" The sight of a grease nipple would entice them to fill it
with grease.  By leaving it with just a plug this would encourage them not
to do anything (or at least look at a manual or spec sheet to see what
needed to go in there)
