> Delayed Feedback. Human beings tend to assume that an action will yield a response immediately, or not at all. This is the way that we interact with the world on a daily basis, and we can become very confused when there's a significant delay in the system's response.

This is what I find the most difficult, personally. When the feedback actually arrives, it's hard to link it to possible causes located far away in the past. It's also difficult to live with the fact that our actions can have distant consequences (but of course they do).
