For example, in America we drive on the right. In Australia,
they drive on the left. When I visit Australia, I know this,
but when stepping out into the road I instinctively check my
left for cars, step into the road, and my foot gets run over by
a car coming from the right. I've had to be very careful as a
pedestrian there, as my intuition would get me killed.
Don't mess with systems programmers' intuitions. It'll cause
more problems than it solves.
I live in Quebec and my intuition always tells me to look both
