That was intentional.  The Phone instance runs in the
worker thread and cannot have user interactivity.

The Profile instance runs in the UI thread.  However
the various methods are likely to cause a lot of the
same messages on each piece of data.  For example imagine
that we whined about names being too long and that the
user had 300 out of 500 names being too long.  It would
get overwhelming and annoying.

The idea is to accumulate all of these messages and any
required user interactivity till after the functions
have run.  They can all be presented in one go before
the writing actually happens, prioritized with the most
important issues/messages first.

There is currently no explicit code to support this other
than having no log access.  It is also why existing code
calls functions wherever possible on the helper so that
the helper could be upgraded to do the whining and hence
do it for all Profiles.
