<p>Take out food coloring and half the things sold will look inedible. Cheetos sales will go to zero. Will totally tank the economy.</p>

They both suck, no disagreement.</p>

I shouldn&#39;t have to learn how to use a product in order to comply with authoritarian demands (see my gripes about paying taxes last night).</p><p>If one side of that social contract is broken, why should users uphold their side by learning how UIs work? It&#39;s a deeply screwed up situation that derives from coercive tech, imho.</p>
