I wouldn't be surprised if we fuck up like this all the time...but I would be surprised if it wasn't related to how often the negative instruction is reinforced.

I'm currently at work and don't have sufficient time to write a detailed reply on this, but just wanted to let you know that I'm on it.  This evening from home I'll do some research and post what I find at that time.
