Ok, maybe I didn't articulate what my point was clearly enough. Creep Mode ON means that the car moves on its own if your foot is not on the accelerator pedal. My point (and really the only point I'm making; i.e. Ok to discard all other commentary) is that if Creep Mode is OFF, and the car is at rest (0 mph, not moving), you have a unique situation where the all 4 gear positions (drive, reverse, neutral, and park) become indistinguishable without looking at the dash. And this introduces a small risk for accident for an inattentive or inexperienced Tesla driver. Whereas with Creep Mode ON, the fact that the car isn't moving eliminates the possibility that it's in drive or reverse. Yes, the driver still has to be attentive, but perhaps it is an easier to be aware that the car is moving than to be aware of the gear indicator on the dash.
