Who came up with *that* brilliant piece of user interface design I

Well, it could be worse. This layout is pretty traditional:

    1  3  5
    |  |  |
    +--+--+
    |  |  |
    2  4  R


There was the shift on the steering column on the 2CV, but then there's also

Traditional Italian military vehicle layout.

     1  3  5
     |  |  |
     +--+--+
     |  |  |
     2  4  F

I don't get it. Shouldn't it be:

      R  R  R
      |  |  |
      +--+--+
      |  |  |
      R  R  R
