It is called the toilet test.  Just slip that lock, sit down, and to the
faint background of bickering children, you read your language or
conceptual guide making marginal notes in green ink.  

Danny Goodman and Colouris Thimbleby just wouldn't have been the same in
Hypermedia, even though the latter was fairly obsessed with it.
