If someone makes a game where players have to click a cow while holding their device steady, they might trigger game over when the listener is invoked, test, find that does not work because it always gets invoked shortly after registration, add a check for whether it's the first time, test, find that works okay. Later they add new functionality not keeping the odd semantics in mind, someone will sooner or later encounter issues with that, and whether that is the developer when testing, or users who complain, is anyone's best guess. You might find that overall the perceived benefits with this design out- weigh such negative implications, but there are negative implications. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
