Touch navigation (shape coding) was codified after a spate of mysterious B-17 runway crashes, found to be caused by two controls - one to be used during landing & the other decidedly not - looking identical & being right next to each other. Adding a tactile identifier to each stopped the crash epidemic in its tracks, but not until a guy had the idea of sitting behind the pilots & observing them.
