But the left-right flip is even more telling than the up-down issue, which was finally resolved.
I bet the flipped version of the apple was not even considered. Would you find this apple appetizing? Optimistic? Sympathetic? Appealing? Friendly? Future oriented? Steve Jobs, who was a student and avid practitioner of calligraphy and a fanatic about visual accessibility, would never have sketched this version. Would you?!
Yet, there it is, same information. Same factual, leafed, bitten apple.
