> But we expect 5 year olds to grow up to better.

But we shouldn't where it's important (implying that code is important). Don't put the "open door" button next to the "set building on fire" button, just because all employees should know which button to press to open the door.

It reminds me of Pointing and Calling [1]. Of course you expect everybody to be able to do things without pointing and calling, but it improves safety and reduces errors, and that's more important than "but people should be able to do it without silly gestures", isn't it?
