Why on Earth would they have designed the lock so that it would not respond to mouse moves or keyboard input but WOULD respond to mouse clicks?

Is it possible there was an intended use case where the machine was set to do exactly one thing, which could be safely triggered by anyone with a mouse click event? Or was it simply that mouse clicks without mouse moves were low risk enough to not bother limiting them?

If I recall correctly, AmigaOS had a boot menu that would be triggered by holding down both mouse buttons at boot time. Not saying that's the reason for the oddity, I don't see why it would be useful to see a menu if you can't select anything.

Oh, now there's an interesting theory, thanks!
