because on pre-1984 models the gear switch is on the right and flaps on the left, on post-1984 models gear is left and flaps are on the right.

I helped recover a Bonanza at an airfield in Africa where this very thing happened. The pilot (apparently very experienced) raised the 'flaps' on the landing roll and the nose gear retracted. No one hurt, fortunately.
