Then please say what you did mean.

At the outset, "it's" == "switching it on by
default can help with discovering it".

Then, in my "it's true of _everything_ that
is off by default", "it's" == same thing:
ON by default can help with discovery.

But in your "it's a counter-argument to the
principle of the least inconvenience", just
what is "it's"?

If you mean the same thing by your "it's"
as was meant in the previous posts, then I
can only guess that you're saying that
"switching it on by default can help with
discovering it" is "a counter-argument to
the principle of least inconvenience".

Is that really what you meant?

I'd think that helping discovery is an
_argument_, not a counter-argument, for
least inconvenience.  (But again, what is
that principle?)
