I wasn't speaking literally, and it obviously didn't appear out of nowhere. It had never been there before, which was why I chose that particular phrase, but I don't want to get into a semantic argument; I'll will try to be more literal in future, if it's an issue. What a patronising reception.

Because I'd understood that damage could result, which appears to be an urban myth. The starter on my previous car, a 2005 Vauxhall Corsa, did fail, which leads me to be cautious. However, stop-start technology seems to function in effectively the exact same way, so I suppose a modern starter should be fairly indestructable.
