"Make a system that even morons can use, and only morons will use it."



That’s both condescending and evidently not true at all.


Relatively speaking I guess it is true? If your system is so hard to use that only power users consider it, you’ll only have power users, but those represent less than 1% of the population.

If you make it simpler, you’ll get all 100% of users, but now 99% of them are evidently less capable of using the system.
