I used to be an electrician. Typically, a motor starter or motor control
switching center would have running lights on each, green for when the
device was operating and red for when it was off to the remote. Using
impeccable logic, this one corporation reversed that procedure because, in
their engineers' opinion, a running motor was dangerous while a stopped
motor was safe to inspect/work-on/etc. Whether there is any validity to
that or not, can you imagine the confusion it caused for maintenance people
and users, not to mention the actual real-life danger?
I only brought this up because somehow it reminds me of Microsoft.
