When people are consistently having issues with an interface, maybe the 
interface is at fault. The evidence of people having problems with the 
interface can be dismissed easily, every time, by saying that the users 
are at fault. Microsoft does it, now Linden Lab does it... but blaming 
the users is a pretty lame way to do design.

The interface could be done better. If the interface were done better 
and a method of protecting people from their mistakes and software 
issues were in place, imagine how much time we would save by not having 
this conversation repeatedly.
