This begs the question: are there universal principles of (interaction) design that apply regardless of the context or user base? Are there standards that apply equally to CEOs in London and impoverished children in sub-Saharan Africa? My guess is: yes, there are some. Fitts' Law, Hick's Law, Tesler's Law, the Poka-Yoke Principle, and probably a few others are fixed. What these are would be an interesting list.
