The meme (*not* gene) of having to select something different than the default |
| 19 |
for getting a complete report has been around for quite some time. |
| 20 |
Unfortunately, there hadn't been any evolutionary selection for it until very |
| 21 |
recently. Thus it hadn't time to spread to southern Africa despite modern |
| 22 |
communication technology. Actually, it hasn't even penetrated the US fully as |
| 23 |
Grant stands as an example. |

An intuitive UI is an oxymoron. There are good UIs and bad ones. UIs that |
| 28 |
default to reasonable options and ones that don't. Consistent ones and |
| 29 |
others. UIs that take user experiences into account and those that don't. UIs |
| 30 |
that try to take the user's POV seriously and those that insist that the |
| 31 |
programmers POV is all there is. That said, I have never ever seen any |
| 32 |
intuitive UI. ;-) |
