There was some research into the theory of falling toast, and
it was discovered that the toast did not always land with the
buttered side down. Further investigation showed that this was
because the wrong side had been buttered.
I don't have the URL for this, unfortunately, so does anyone
know what methods are used to ensure that the correct side is
buttered?

That is an easy one. The side on the plate that is downward is
NOT the to be buttered side.
To create a machine of great simplicity just butter BOTH sides
and drop the slice of toast toward the floor.

This would IMHO lead to either:
the toast hovering above the floor, edge down, oscillating
laterally or the toast landing on its edge.

Even this would be acceptable if one could decide with certainty
*which* edge to butter...

Butter the EDGE? That's perverted. Socially unacceptable this side
of the Pond. Please don't bother us sensitive souls with the dark
practices that you get up to in the Colonies.

Well, of COURSE. If you don't, it's hard to get the little
bread-holder to retract into the laser-toaster in the computer.
