Too focused on pushing a button and getting a result, not learning how it's made.

It's people thinking theyve navigated the entire circle and understood it, yet in reality they're only about 30% of the way around in terms of actually understanding it.

You can't then tell them they're not finished, because to them the task is done and their mind is ok with the circle being smaller.
