Experimenting on users - perhaps it is loaded, what I take from it though
is the way we tend to not do enough testing or evaluation as to whether a
change actually accomplishes it's objective before unleashing it on our
users. There are many cases where this has failed, and in each of those
cases we have lost the trust of our users.
