This is a flawed statement, as it suggests people do not want to think,
which is incorrect.

I would cite Susan's interpretation as an accurate example of what
people don't want:

"Don't make me guess."

Interfaces teach people what to do, in that all one needs to know to
operate an interface should be visible and clearly labeled, or be
logically deduced from such input.
