First, no, as the other comments here attest, the end result of constant lying is that nobody trusts progress bars at all; if things reliably finished at 75%, progress bars would be easy, but they don't so they aren't. Second, that people soon get used to being lied to does not make lying OK.
- gpvos 6y agoI don't think you are in disagreement.
- jessriedel 6y agoNeither of Jeremy Bank's sentences are relevant to my first comment if you try to contort their interpretation so they do not conflict with me.
- gpvos 6y agoTo me, JeremyBanks' second sentence clearly implied that users don;'t trust progress bars anymore, and your comment was unnecessary. He is also certainly implying that lying is not OK. Interpreting them otherwise seems like a strange kind of contortion to me.
- jessriedel 6y agoI think you're clearly misinterpreting, but it's not worth discussing. JeremyBanks can clarify for himself if he wants.
