    What's considered intuitive isn't intrinsic to the design. It's always relative to the previous preferred design, and there is no known base case to anchor onto.

    The nipple comes well after lots of crying and grasping for other things, but why would first experiences have anything to do with best experiences anyway?

    I think most designers are deeply aware of this already, so why do we keep talking about design this way?
