*Brett,
*
*Perhaps you missed the point.*

Todd,
Perhaps you didn't make yourself clear.

*Providing this illustration from the beginning would have saved a lot of
wasted time on this argument.*

You don't know that. Sometimes we have to go through this process to come to
the conclusion that diagrams were needed. I don't call any of this 'a lot of
wasted time'.
You didn't have to be in the conversation in the first place. All of this is
purely voluntary.

Anyways, judging by people's responses I have made a strong and justified
case which has been accepted. In all honesty, I really don't care about the
'years of research and studies'. I get way more out of these conversations
then I do from reading others people's books and attending classes.
I care more about listening to what my users are saying (I know you do too).


*Tested it how? With how many people? What's the whole story? What's the
context?*

Not even 1 of these questions matter. Even if I answered and said "I tested
it standing on my head with 10 candidates in clown suits in this kind of
context in this situation"...the fact remains that my users came to the
conclusion that I suggested from the beginning.
**
I'm not going to make a scientific case to go against 'years of scientific
research'. Most people here don't.
I'm going to be the guy listening to the person saying "Can we move this
thingy over here to make it easier to press?"

In all honesty I don't care about the years of research. You have your
degree and I have mine. I have learned way, way more by simply speaking to
people to get answers. If you have read my bio there are 2 things I am know
for saying:

1. Human Touch before Human Factors
2. If you want to know how your users really feel, take off the damn lab
coat and go stand in line with them.

I never once suggested that the entire field should accept what I say as you
stated in your response, but after long deliberation, I have come to the
scientific conclusion that if everyone here listens to what I say, there
won't be any problems.
I tested this.
