This fella has seen some stuff.

This was a great show for kids in its day. Good scientific concepts, great explanations delivered to kids.

Actually I think you are right, I just tried again and noticed clicking anywhere but not on the icon has a different action compared to clicking on the icon. So I was slightly wrong but it does seem that because the icon is small means it is easy to actually 'miss' it and instead end up with the wrong action.

I have this issue and I believe it is because the icons are very close together on the screen, and it is easy to accidentally press the wrong one.

It seems he likes to run this business by public consensus.
