If you continue that, you can also claim that it is an even more 
fundamental error to assume that anyone can operate that flat beige 
piece of plastic with all those buttons. From the designer at that point 
in time and also for the first batches of users, that was obvious. You 
OTOH have been brainwashed by current technology where even the ^C is 
redefined in an horribly backwards incompatible way.
