Could you please provide a few links with all those "most and many
people"?

I can't see that much qjackctl and/or jackd related requests that are
could be avoided by splitting the settings window of qjackctl, neither
on Linux audio user, Arch Audio, Jack, Ardour, Qtractor, Ubuntu
Studio users and a few other audio related Linux mailing lists, nor on
general Linux mailing lists.

No need to be that harsh.

This could happen without a brain damage and depends to the individual
basic attitude of a human. Psychology claims that if a women and a men
take a look into the same refrigerator, women see food, that men don't
see.

However, assumed somebody should miss the start button, a request to a
mailing list or forum likely would once for all resolve the faux pas.

I would like to see three or four links to such a request ;). I doubt
that it happens very often that somebody is missing the button.

Here I agree with Fons. If 60 seconds are too much, those people
unlikely need jackd. IIRC jackd is intended for audio production. For
audio productions, music, speech, what ever, a little bit of time is
needed.

Yesterday I saw somebody driving a car in the wrong direction through a
one-way street, while watching a display and typing on a smart phone.

People who have not enough time for a learning curve or for driving a
car, because they need all their time for more important things,
for tweets and other rocket science, can't expect that all tools will be
redesigned to fit too 59 seconds learning curves. For some people even
a driver's license revocation would be the best that could be done.
