In development, maybe you're right. All is fair in software development ;)

I just happen to have a system here, where I have to log users actions.
But no amount of 'breadcrumbs' (action logging) is going to stop people
from complaining about default actions taken by just pressing 'yes' or enter all the time... that they
perceive as 'wrong answer'.

Their supervisors tend to tell us then, 'you should have stopped them from blindly selecting the wrong answer by default'...

We (still) get complaints that it's slowing them down, but then, it's now 'by design'.

At some point we resorted to disabling the default button mappings to keyboard,
so they HAVE to click buttons by mouse.

And they aren't 'dumb' people, oh no.
