Comment on Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change?

Depends on what the purpose of the button is.
A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it'll transition to.

I disagree. I think both the current state and the state it will change to should be clearly labeled.
For example a good Play/Pause button is always combined with some sort of chart/animation showing that it is currently playing.
