Yeah, that's a funny image, but it's not always correct.

I tried to figure out how to turn on a Dyson vacuum one time. No instructions around. Nobody to tell me how to do it. It took me about 2 minutes to figure out how to turn it on. There were so many crappy plastic knobs and switches and stuff all over it, and the power switch didn't have the standard markings on it and was hidden somewhere I don't remember now. I didn't want to randomly turn knobs and flip switches because they seemed so cheap they would break off in my hands, so I was just looking at everything until I could figure out the right switch. The point is, if something is designed so poorly that a novice can't figure out how to turn the damn thing on, it's stupid.
