That's a peculiar argument. Like giving young children sharp knives and not
expecting (at last a sizeable number) not to cut themselves or others. Sure
you *can* train them, etc., but that's not reality.
Products that come with books/DVDs/seminars/etc that aim to change users'
behavior generally fail. That's a point, BTW, explicitly made by Jobs
towards the end of Jobs-Gates joint appearance at D5, when answering Walt's
question about what revolutionary UI advances we can expect in PCs. He
expected revolutionary advances in 'post-PC' devices, but said that legacy
concerns should attenuate our expectations for PCs.
As to vertical-stance arm waving causing fatigue, I'm waiting for Jonathan's
YouTube account.
