The way I understand it, that is a bad idea because you could end up
designing to the (non-representative) quirks of the individual, rather than
needs that are shared by many such individuals.

I'm not sure I agree with Jared's surgical analogy. A medical or

appropriate treatment for any particular condition, and those
treatments are (generally) pretty well defined by the larger surgical
community. So it's not like the

Hi, Maxim!
But why this deletion confirmation dialog is modal? Can't speak of all

right on the place where the user has clicked:
