I consider myself a UNIX expert, but I still have to dig into the manual to
check the options on commands I use infrequently.  Since nobody uses all
the commands all the time, we are all novices some of the time.  I look to
human factors to help me design a system that

	1) does not have common mistakes that even experts make, and
	
	2) provides help for the novice only when asked, so as to not get in
	the way of the expert.
