Don't remember at the moment if that came from TDoEDT or from Jakob
Nielsen. Sounds more like the book's tone than Jakob's.

I own a relatively aesthetic looking electric water jug, but you will
burn your fingers, if you touch the handhold. A relatively ugly looking
electric water jug, with a usable handhold IMO makes more sens. „Form follows function“
Good reading: "The Design of Every Day Things".
My Yamaha PSR keyboard has stenciled labels on medium gray metal. They
use 2 different colors: black, and a light yellow. The light yellow is
almost invisible against the gray. So more than 2-3 hours of learning on
the part of Yamaha doesn't always enable them to hit the ball out of the
park all the time. Fortunately, software is much more malleable!
