Yes, pain is a good motivator...

I would love to have a horn silence button which resets when the dive
brakes were closed.Â* We had one of those on the B-727.Â* It was reset
when throttles were advanced.

The LS 3 -4 dive brake lever does allow you to deploy the dive brakes with the gear lever in the retracted position. BUT...To do this you have to put your hand in a abnormal position. Or the back of your hand will hit the gear lever.

I think this was a very good design feature and I'm sure it has saved many gear up landings. No electric power or horns or lights, just pain, that will get your attention when nothing else will.
