That's a much better analogy. The customer may not care, but the question is essential and must be answered; if the supplier guesses what the customer wants, they are doing the customer a disservice.

It is a much better analogy for me on my desktop, and for programmers working for global enterprises, too. It is not for Kristján, nor for many other American, European, and yes, even Australian programmers.

You're making the same kind of mistake he is (although I personally benefit from your mistake, and have suffered for decades from his :-).

Diff'rent folks, diff'rent strokes. It would be nice if we could serve both use cases by default. We haven't found the way yet, that's all.
