As long as its animated, even a "fudged" progress bar tells me that my
computer has not locked up. That's really all I ask for.

A good general example of this in software design would be progress  
bars.  Some are in fact accurate but many are fudged to some degree  
or other, and in that case they are just a design element that has  
been produced to elicit the desired response (patience) from the user.
