I'm sure you can agree that 5% of the population shouldn't force their preferences (of non-interaction) onto the other 95%.

What of minority rights? I think you've come to a pretty repugnant conclusion on accident.

on accident

My brain always flags this as an error (instead of the correct "by accident") and gets annoyed. Am I being too sensitive? Googling tells me that "on accident" is a minority usage that probably doesn't actually count as an error...

Perhaps paper-machine said 'on accident' by purpose...
