Is "Himan" short for "highway man"?  It would explain the single
trigger button and the design of point-and-click interfaces.
Threatening a computer seems like a natural thing to do.  Gratifying.
And it also explains how one can often get the computer scared into
doing more things by double-clicking.  Now what happens if the mouse
actually is loaded?
