that dangerous assumption is primarily what drives terrible GUI design
these days. If you assume your users are idiots and try to design
around them, not even the smart people will be able to make use of your

Windows was build to simplify the user interface for lusers.
X11 was build to give an engineer, using an expensive workstation,
a powerfull GUI.
Windows is a idiot compatibility layer.
X11 is a power tool for experts.
