> With widescreens my mouse point never touches an edge. I mean that's a corner case your axiom fails to address. Because human behavior is part of the system you have to use science and data driven methods to determine the best course of action as human behavior can be unpredictable.

Except this was measured in studies of human behaviour. Only they apparently studied humans who had both mice with acceleration and the intelligence to give the mouse a quick flick to get across even rather large screens.

A) No.

B) Buy a joke detector.

Now please stop spouting meta bullshit that only shows that you still prefer blathering to actually getting a grasp on what it is you're blathering about. Thank you.

Did you address my comment on widescreens? No.

LOL show me these studies.. they need to be replicated dozens and dozens of times because I don't know if you heard, the entire field of human psychology suffers from a replicability crisis so basically all the science and most associated fields related to such human behavior Bull f-ing shit. You know what's an Associated field? UI and UX design.

I bet you that you can't even find the study. The whole thing is just coined based of anecdotal saying of some random ass hole.

>A) No.

No to you.

>B) Buy a joke detector.

I bought one and I'm pointing it at you. It's ringing. That means you're a joke.

You need to grow a brain. None of what I said is bullshit. It's real. You have no ability to think outside the box and look deeply at your long held beliefs. I am literally telling you that you've been worshipping this UI bullshit for a good chunk of your life.
