Speaking as a user (I'm not a programmer even if I'm often loafing around here):

Left is not "optimistic" but "assumptive" - blame the dev and the user.
Right is not "pessimistic" but "diligent" - blame the user.

But the worst type doesn't appear in this pic: they'd put a ball of chicken wire around the label so it's physically impossible to put it in the hot water.

Then the users would complain that they can't fit the tag in their water.

We're talking about the worst dev, right? "No, chrust me. I have a vizhun about how the tea bag should be."

Incidentally it's the same answer that he'd give to people annoyed who neither need nor want the chicken wire ball.
