However (you knew that was coming!) I would point out that many of us are, shall we say, optically challenged - either through age or genetics.
I have to state that I very strongly agree with this statement. Younger people, simply don't get it - but they will as they age. If a developer is young enough to NOT need bi-focals, for example, then they really don't understand the eyesite challenges caused by aging. (I know I certainly didn't, when I was younger).
I must be missing something about this discussion. Why not provide the historically accurate photo realistic console rendering AND a functional practical version for those that would prefer it. This is computer software, after all. These are virtual organs, after all. I really wonder how far the "historically correct" argument can or should be carried.
I struggle on a daily basis, reading computer screens, and dealing with music desks that are too high. Yes, I wear bi-focals, as I suspect many people (early 50's) my age do.
