I feel there is another aspect to consider. The more committal action should require the more conscious movement to invoke. A great example being exiting an app being at the bottom of the file menu. Or on MacOS classic where they placed the trash can in the lower right of the desktop far from everything else.

OK and cancel don't consider this aspect as much, but IMO OK should require more conscious movement to accomplish. I'd rather accidentally cancel sending an email than accidentally prematurely send one for example.
