Huhh?? But predictability is one factor of "ergonomic". I don't know why these are being tried to he painted as opposites.


Hi! The choice of the word might not have been the best here, and I'm open for suggestions, however, the article presents ergonomics as its used e.g. in the context of a JVM [1]. There are more details on why it's the opposite in the article.
