It's possible I'm just overanalyzing your statement, but when I read it
initially, it felt a little unsettling.

Granted, I've said many times that "it's not necessarily about simplicity,
it's about clarity", which is a statement with a similar intent — to point
out that one term/phrase is perhaps accurate than the other and encourage
people to consider the distinction. Still, something about it just caught my
ears wrong.

Maybe it's because it sort of ... cancels itself out. As in, the need the
user has at a given moment may only exist because you created/encouraged an
expectation in the first place, but then you say a good experience isn't
about meeting expectations.

Hard to articulate, I guess. Just sounded ... off ... somehow.
