    I think that’s the trick, right? 1% of a perfectly normal person’s attention looks a lot like a really dumb person. This certainly goes for tech, but also for any number of other fields.

      Insightful. I was commenting about a VIP wrt a power dialog on a mobile device and posited that the reason they didn’t understand a thing must be that they don’t read before dismissing it. I would even say that’s half of 1% of their attention and that makes complete sense. The other 99.5% is focused on the things they consider more important.

        To be fair, sometimes the message appears unexpectedly right where you were going to click, and you dismiss it without being able to read.

        Maybe some messages should really appear with a dismissal button disabled for several seconds
