Imagine if one were building a one-off vehicle and it had a critical control placed in an ergonomic spot with flammable fluid or maybe hot or high pressure lines routed through the cabin to necessarily reach it. What would the response be if they posted it to HN, Reddit, Youtube? They would get harassed endlessly about how dangerous that it. You should "never" run fuel through the cabin. You should "never" run high pressure hydraulics near an occupant, etc. All sorts of low effort comments would be made to score cheap virtue points dunking on the builder. It would be one giant safety circle jerk complete with clipboards and safety vests. And that kind of "I know the best practices but I don't deeply understand the requirements of this specific implementation" kills people, like apparently John Denver. This really should be sobering to many here. You could have been that builder. But what will we take away from it? Not the hard uncomfortable lesson to keep your mouth shut and don't touch anything in the name of "best practices" until you truly know the ins and outs of the application. Heavens no. We'll just make out our UIs suck a little less and call it good. That's much easier.
