• You’re already assuming that command is a valid command. That’s an invalid assumption for an unitiated user. On the other hand, a first-time user can click on icons, or hover over them to find the tool tip. (That name in itself suggests that the GUI should be explored rather than taught.)

      That would be similar to saying you are assuming the user has opened the gui application, not just randomly clicking the desktop.

      Of course I’m assuming they already know what application they want to use before exploring its capabilities.
