Maybe you can give us some clicking lessons
It is a problem of eliminating unwanted input that occurs in many aspects of electronics. Sawmills processing wood, must eliminate sawdust and other debris that pass the photocells when counting boards into a bin for example or they would end up with short loads.
Early computer keyboards had to be software debounced because the contacts would connect and disconnect numerous times for each keypress. The infamous TRS-80 Model one comes to mind. And Radio Shack had only one poor contract programmer working on the entire project IIRC. Bill Gates finished the job but poor Randy had to deal with keyboard debouncing and making a working OS long before there were all the shiny tools and libraries programmers have today. 8080 assembly language and write your own assembler was how it was done. Or connect wires to the processors pins and power them on and off till you figured out what was happening, by lighting up leds.
Strangely enough they got things out and working for the most part in a pretty timely manner.
Hats off to the early programmers
