I just want to point out that the reason people may have seemed hostile to you and your idea is because we have been over this argument MANY times in MANY threads. Lack has given his opinion on it in those other threads, and feels that moving the end attacks button to the other side of the screen was sufficient. The problem is simply that when you post on here a lot, it gets very tiresome to rehash the same ideas and arguments again and again (see also: AndyDufresne's life).
Overall, I still fail to understand how you could have made this mistake 4 times (over the course of 7 games!), because the buttons are no where near each other. Whenever I am playing a round that I feel is important I take time to make sure I know what I am doing. I am not saying this to create a personal attack against you, but I just feel that if you can't pay attention to what button you are pushing then your strategy in the game is probably not getting enough focus either. Everyone in general should slow down if they find themselves making mistakes.
That being said, if you are playing a real time freestyle game or some other masochisticly confusing ordeal, you may have to play very quickly. In that situation you may make mistakes, but if you rush so much that you blunder through the game I consider it your own fault.
I can't remember if I ever ended attacks early, but I know one time I accidentally deployed a huge force of armies to the wrong country. They ended up on one of the countries in my backlines that was blocked by all my other territories so I could not attack. That was no ones mistake but my own, so I have simply played more carefully ever since.
