We shouldn't have to rely on post-hoc science to tell us that. Designers should not be allowed to execute in counterproductive ways in the first place, and there was nothing non-obvious about this. We have rules about how road signs should look. How are we going to get back the time lost now?
- zanny 8y ago> We have rules about how road signs should look. Probably a bad example because its signs on public, state owned roads. Private roads don't have signage requirements, you can even have your kids drive your cars without a license on private roads. However we do have building code and more importantly the ADA which sets standards for businesses (like, ya know, websites) to meet minimum accessibility standards. The problem is I don't see any congress where the average number of mathematicians within their ranks is within a margin of error of 0 or rarely enough scientists to fill counting on one hand being capable of writing actually good regulation in this or any software related regard.
