Maybe we have scared people away from not touching 'reset' so much that they don't want to touch the (far too close) 'restart'.

For those with shaky fingers - use the power button.
Press and hold the power button until the three choice panel pops up:
Cancel | Restart | Turn off screen
You can hardly go wrong with those choices.

And if for some reason you can't see that panel -
keep on holding the power button down until the display (or led) flashes at you - then it will restart regardless of the pop panel.
