It's not about what it does. It's about what makes it effective within the context of the software. There are several veteran users who have looked right past it all these years, never registering what it meant or that it might have been something we were looking for. An adjustment of terms would nicely accommodate this previously unavailable action without referring to the documentation which doesn't index it anyway! It's not those who 'get it' that clarify; it's those who fail to 'get it' that do that. I'm not arguing this as a fine point, but as an example of the *cascade* of failures that demonstrate the need for a full-scale overhaul of the program's plane of contact with its users.
