It might not be a strict "preference", more of an expectation how things should be based on previous experience. Like, if you're used to an elevator with a bit of a jerk, an elevator taking you there just as fast but smoother might feel not as fast.

- failbuffer 2y agoYou could just as well ask "why not give the fastest ride possible so everyone saves time?"
