I made a thing for keyboarders using https://marshdeer.github.io/xkcd2501-generator/

XKCD one panel comic with two stick figure people talking to each other.

Person 1: Travel distance preference is second nature to us keeb freaks, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows their preferred actuation weight.
Person 2: And lubes, of course
Person 1: Of course

Along the bottom it says: Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.
