I’m afraid one of those people for whom this rule would just cause confusion … Are you?

“Instructors were very knowledgeable and could clearly explain concepts and convey importance of strategy and architecture.
It was a more comprehensive, holistic approach to the subject than other training. Emphasis on understanding the business prior to technology considerations was reassuring to business stakeholders.”
Bernard – Government of Canada
“Sessions flow together well and build upon the concepts for the series which makes the learning easy and better retention.
The instructor is knowledgeable and very attentive to the audience given the range of attendees skill and knowledge of the subject at hand. I enjoy her training sessions.”
Deborah – American Family Insurance
“A great class that explains the importance of business rules in today’s work place.”
Christopher – McKesson
“We actively use the BRS business-side techniques and train our business analysts in the approach. The techniques bring clarity between our BAs & customers, plus more robust requirements for our development teams. We’ve seen tremendous value.”
Jeanine Bradley – Railinc
“I found the course interesting and will be helpful.
I like the pragmatic reality you discuss, while a rule tool would be great, recognizing many people will use Word/Excel to capture them helps. We can’t jump from crazy to perfect in one leap!
Use of the polls is also great. Helps see how everyone else is doing (we are not alone), and helps us think about our current state.”
Trevor – Investors Group
“You did a wonderful job!! The material was organized and valuable.”
Janell – Texas State University
“Your work has been one of the foundations of my success in our shared passion for data integration. It has had a huge impact on innumerable people!”
Rand Losey – Knowledge Engineers Limited, LLP

I don’t find it confusing at all. It probably comes as a result of the confusion generated by the lack of any standardization or consistency in keypad interfaces. I’m guessing that so many people hit the ‘Enter’ button when prompted with a question requiring a “yes/no” response, the added direction was needed.
I’d think we’d be rather okay with such instructions, given “Press Cancel for Credit” is considered normal–should anyone ever add a ‘Credit’ button to a keypad interface, expect to see improvised instructions such as “Press the orange ‘CREDIT’ button for Credit”.

What is the problem with this one? It seems quite straightforward to me.

I’m a bit surprised. I got a couple of comments like this. I guess it’s my knee-jerk reaction to redundantly expressing something twice(?) Concern for the illiterate or the color-challenged(?). I’m just saying. I would stand there a while wondering if I were missing something. Just me, I guess.

Ok, I looked and immediately thought, what about the OTHER green button..for enter.. and had a puzzled moment wondering, is what they say really what I think it means…… I think if the “green” had been removed, it would have been a much better sign. A public library I recently visited had a sign on almost every wall, with messages of must not, ranging from telling patrons not to drag, rock or misuse the antique chairs, to “stay home if you are sick” to long instructions on who can use the public pcs, and for what, to how to replace books, or when not to. I thought, this is too much for people to process. The problem with bad rules is that people shut down and miss the important stuff.
