[IxDA Discuss] People who really OUGHT to have done user testing

"A LOTTERY scratchcard has been withdrawn from sale by Camelot -
because players couldn't understand it."

It's mostly a story about confusing math and such, and I think the
writer is making the point that people don't get negative numbers.
But I can't help thinking "if they'd just run a few sample games with
random volunteers they'd've found that problem..."

My pet hate with design that has clearly had no user testing is the new
pedestrian crossing signals in the UK.
