In general, they found most people made button errors up to 46% of the time using 2-button mice, even with standard functions.

46% of the time!! Are you kidding me? Thats almost as bad as guessing! Whoever these "most people" are I suppose they dont even have the faculties necessary to type. A keyboard has a lot more then 2 buttons you know. What about using a water facet? Those have two nobs and people seem to do OK.

Someone mentioned earlier about a one button mouse being easier for kids. These people have apparenlty never looked at the controller for and childrens video system which has like 10 buttons for application specific functions. Six of which are controlled buy the thumb alone. Children probably get this stuff easier then adults. Even lab rats can learn to use two buttons with an accuracy better then 46%.
