My point was not to say that some theme is bad and another is good. I intended to raise discussion about why user interfaces are made to resemble their real-life counterparts (and not just abstractions), when that usually just damages usability.

I realize now that I should not have used examples at all. Themes here are important to people and unfocused criticism is likely to seem much more insulting than it were if I was discussing this with my friends.

I already apologized, but I apologize again.
