I think that is related to the theory of why idiot-proofing is misguided.

Good theory, but I also quite like the more traditional theory:

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot- proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.
