I’ve been frustrated by toilets where I have to contort my body to reach the dispenser. Similarly, I’ve had dispensers intrude on the space where my legs would normally be and make it awkward to even just sit on the toilet.

Toilets are absolutely designed to make the dispenser placement convenient. You just don’t think about it because 95% of toilets get it right, so it just doesn’t bother you that much that it can be wrong.

In SQL, some decisions are right about 10% of the time and are annoying and awkward the other 90%.

That’s why the order matters. Because everything else got it right.
