you only quality as a serious home-renovator if you:
-attempt to use a petrol-powered post-hole auger solo
-have worked out how to get a fence nailer to rapidfire
-have drilled thru a wall blindly and nicked the edges of your stove-top gas line AND the power to the stove
seriously: using the silicon in the corners means that when the house moves about (as they do with changing temps and seasons) the joint will flex with the changes and not open up (like a fully cement-grouted conrer would have).
the only thing to watch for is excessive mould grow appearing along the join - which you should treat before it eventually weakens the seal and lets water under the tile base (e.g. clean the shower more freqently than every 6 months  )
