That people—even highly trained people—click through confirmation dialogs without reading them is HCI 101.
Any system that depends on humans never making a mistake is going to fail.
- gooseus 9y agoThen we're truly fucked because the UX is designed and built by humans, tested by humans, approved by humans and then taught and learned by other humans. That's a whole chain of humans that need to not make a mistake, but I'm guessing if any of them do, they have their own technology or chain of "other' humans, they can blame it on. "It's not my fault, we just followed the design, QA should have caught it!" --> "It wasn't in our test spec!" --> "Well, certainly trained military personnel aren't so dense as to not read the dialog, even if they somehow forget which of 2 buttons does what... I mean, you can only plan for so much stupid, right?" But hey, The future is now! Nobody has to be responsible for anything! Ready or not, Singularity, here we come!
