No one is saying you aren't doing things without thought. What people are saying is that the record button has been in the same place roughly since the time tape machines had transports. In the same place in every piece of hardware we buy, every control surface, and every DAW. And if for some reason it isn't, the first question that is always asked is "why is the record button there?" It's an established precedent going back well before most of us were even alive, let alone working in this industry.
I don't care what kind of discussion was involved. That's just a reflection of both stupidity and arrogance. You don't just "overturn" an established industry norm like that. That's like saying, hey, I know turning the pan knob to the left usually pans left, but now it actually pans right. After discussion we felt that the way it currently works doesn't take into account people who are facing backwards while working. If you don't like it just face backwards...
