Default When a gallon is not a gallon

Just like when you twist a light bulb to the left to remove it without
lifting up the lamp to read the instructions. Or you put food in a
microwave and don't pour over the manual for 5 minutes because you
"know" what to do. Or you know that the pedal on the right is the
throttle (in left side operator cars) without needing to look for
instructions when you get in a car


That one, at least, is a bad choice of example when trying to illustrate your
point: left pedal brake, right pedal throttle is a requirement of Federal law,
and has been for many years. It's not something that manufacturers could
suddenly change on a whim.
