so, it's better to have all your program's functions be available to quick-learning, on-hand memory rather than tucked away in cascades of menus and dialogues.

and 12 is the maximum; I find 7-8 to be a sweet spot for discoverability and accessibility,

the first, is because we only have ten fingers and two hands to count on, and human memory has adapted to this

the second, is because we have two hands of five fingers each, and one finger from each hand together could map to a function. again, the brain works this way

of those 25, we remember 12.
