I'll take that bate. I am willing to be presumptuous enough to call myself a
"real user interface expert."

I am a Chemical Engineer by training. I have specialized training in failure
analysis as well as operability studies. I have designed and modified
real-world user interfaces. Granted, my experience is with user interfaces
that can result in death and dismemberment, but the lessons learned apply.
