Permanently disable "align" with clone stamp?

In photoshop, with the clone stamp, if you inadvertently double click while pressing Alt/Option to set the clone source, align will get checked.  I do that constantly, always unaware that I'm doing it, and always having to uncheck the align box.  Is it possible to set some parameter that will disable (not turn off but disable) the align feature?  I'm guessing there isn't, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Works like a charm and no more accidental '✔ Aligned'
