Key Takeaways, 3rd item

The 3rd takeaway referred to a key consideration that was moved to Chapter 4 (Hick’s Law). The 3rd takeaway should be replaced with the following:

• Remember to not build products and services for an idealized, rational user, because people don’t always behave rationally in real life.
• Make guidance accessible and fit within the context of use so that it can help these active new users, no matter what path they choose to take (e.g., tooltips with helpful information).
