8. Because learned patterns of behavior, such as the association of a green light with "go" or the expectation that switches will flip up for "on" become deeply ingrained designers should make allowances for that fact in order not to produce machines that are inefficient or dangerous.

In which one of the following situations is the principle expressed most clearly violated?

(A) Manufacturers have refused to change the standard order of letters on the typewriter keyboard even though some people who have over learned to type find this arrangement of letters bewildering

(B) Government regulations require that crucial instruments in airplane cockpits-be placed in exactly the same array in all commercial aircraft

(C) Automobile manufacturers generally design for all of their automobiles a square or oblong ignition key and a round or oval luggage compartment key.

(D) The only traffic signs that are triangular in shape are "yield" signs.

(E) On some tape recorders the "start" button is red and the "stop" button is yellow.

the answer is E,why not A?I think A is violated too.
THKS!

A是不对的。

这样说吧，键盘上的字母排列可能的确不科学，但是，我们都习惯了。如果改了，反而ineffecient. right? so by refusing to do so, they didn't violate.

If " Principle of the argument must be true ", then which one of the following must be 1 must be false or 2 could be false.

Since we are always looking for the most possible answer, we should always look for the answer that must be false.

Core argument: due to the learned patterns of behavior deeply ingrained, designers should make allowances to not to produce machines that are inefficient or dangerous.

Principle is : Learned patterns of behavior should be considered by designer to ensure the machine must not be inefficient or dangerous.

A. The fact that you refuse to change something does not mean that you do not consider the patterns before " designing it " . Which is to say, you must be able to change something after something is exist. Perhaps the designer actually did consider the patterns before designing that particular kind of the type writer keyboard.

B. not really relevant to the principle.

C. To not mix up. Not violate

D. To help people differentiate that sighs with the other ones.

E. Red should be stop, and yellow should be watch out. Apparently violate.
