Just have it so that a floor wouldn't have a button for itself. Why would you need it anyway?

  And the same person will stare at the panel until the button for the current floor appears. I've seen this behavior in humans before. It's not a pleasant experience.

    If a person cannot understand that a button will not spontaneously form on a physical panel, cannot understand the basic laws of reality and physics, then they shouldn't be let outside or out of the care of others. There is nothing you can design that would work for someone with that kind of mental disability.

      Aside from the "not letting out" part, that's essentially the point. The current system works wonderfully for 99.9% of people. Redesigning everything for the last 0.1% isn't worth it, since they can either be simply taught by a passer-by or they're incapable of learning it. I dare say everyone is guilty of at least one massive oversight like this. If everyone guilty of one were quarantined, there'd be no-one left.

    One way around this is to have a label for the current floor, but no button next to it, just metal plating. Then it's obvious that there is no way to select the current floor.
