every electric (non-ceiling) fan I have ever used is operated with a dial with settings off, high, mid, and low in that order. Why does it go from off straight to high? Why not do the more intuitive “get higher the more you turn away from off”?
Not only that, but how come in so many homes the actual fan speeds don’t correspond to the settings on the dial e.g. “1” might be the fastest speed while “3” is the slowest and “2” is OFF.
