Clear communication is part of good design. People are more likely to use a system effectively when its purpose, limits, and alternatives are easy to understand.

The strongest approaches leave room for revision. New technology, changing habits, and repeated feedback can reveal problems that were difficult to predict at the beginning.

The issue becomes clearer when viewed through everyday behavior rather than only through theory. People adapt quickly to systems around them, often without noticing how strongly those systems influence their choices.
