SMC reset is done with a key combo on newer MBP's without the latch bottom, you don't have to pull the battery.

You're right, I missed the fine print. Thanks for getting me to look again: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 (look for "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own", how silly of me, I shouldn't remove it because they used proprietary screws)
Regardless, I think it still speaks to the notion that the battery is harder to attack than the hard drive other than the more obvious reasons.
