The argument that we have to take people who are unfamiliar with the work and look at how they approach it is alienating me. Would you design mathematical notations based on the opinion of 5th graders? Would you build a skyscraper based on how 5th graders feel about it because it's more natural?
EDIT: For those who didn't read the article, I say 5th grader here because a large part of the study is actually about them. Not because I arrogantly compare people from other fields to children.
