Civil/Military: that's a bit harsh, Lu.
Those of us involved in Flight Test work hard to ensure that the gotchas are eliminated: though none of us is perfect. In the old days the manufacturer's test pilots and the military tp team would each have a go at finding and eliminating HP/Ergonomic problems. However, in these days of jointery trialling the second independent review may no longer happen, or the mindset may already cause an oversight.
On a personal note, having recently nipped in the bud another pilot's (from a different organisation than my outfit) attempt at 212 hara-kiri, I would put the HYD switches as far as possible from the AUTO/MANUAL switches in the 212/412. Actually, below the SCAS/AFCS/HELIPILOT controller would be my ideal.
Anyway, there's lots more about.....
How many UK Army pilots remember just how quiet it could go in the Scout if you put the heater on? (For the uninitiated, fuel cock and heater controls were identical units very close to each other, but fuel control fore/aft movement and heater control a horizontal movement.)
Ho Ho!
