>There has been some discussion around the web about the Note 5’s flaw where the internal detection mechanism for the pen will break if you insert it backwards. Of course there is a possibility that you might do that accidentally, and Samsung probably should have thought of this during the design process, but to be honest: just don’t insert the pen the wrong way around and you’ll never notice the flaw. This shouldn’t be that hard to do considering there is literally no reason to insert the stylus backwards.

To be fair, I haven't held a Note 5 yet, so I don't know how easy it is to accidentally insert it incorrectly. However, coming from a family with an abundance of left handers, I've seen how poor design or biased design can impact the usability of products. I'm more than a little saddened that a reporter would blame the consumer for problems as the result of a poorly designed product.
