If your target user is someone who doesn't want to learn how to make the system work, you're going to make changes in pursuit of an impossible goal. Those changes will make things harder for the core audience.
Ummmm....dedicated pause, fast forward, and rewind buttons will make things harder for the core audience?!? Anything that faces end-users should be as intuitive as possible...unless of course, you risk losing functionality/power etc...
Better to take a page from IT Marketing's playbook: Declare pre-emptively that your system is more friendly, easier-to-use, faster, better for the corporate market, whatever. Suppress any evidence to the contrary, trumpet any evidence supporting your claim, and keep at it until it becomes common knowledge. Never mind tautologies, no one with the power to influence common knowledge will notice them.
...anyways...I could go off on a rant here, but really, I just thought it would be nice to have a few more buttons on the remote...I didn't come here to argue.
