...has ridges, while the left does not.

That is all. I didn't say it was a BIG detail.

Personally would have preferred the paddles to be on the column not on the wheel...would have negated the need for the ridges.

On the backside of the paddles, the side that faces the windshield.

A-Spec had aluminium paddles right? That's probably why it's different.

So is that for when you’re cornering, umm at very low speed (where the wheel is turned more than 90 degrees) say into a parking spot, you can tell which is shift up, and which is shift down? I think I’m missing the point of the ridges.

Just to provide another topic for discussion/speculation/complaining on internet forums.

Ahh yes, a subtle dig at A-spec owners as turns out, to really get the conversation engulfed in flames, too!

The HomeLink buttons on my Ridgeline have 1, 2 and 3 dots on buttons 1, 2, and 3.

I also noticed that ATM machines in bank drive-thrus have braille on the keys and headphone jacks for spoken instructions. Now, that's scary.

Nowhere near as scary as seeing someone actually using them.

It's a compliment! A-spec drivers are more advanced and don't need any cues.

Sort of like the blank Das Keyboard with no inscriptions:
