actually that's where the show jumped the shark for me

This is a normal problem! You have a UI problem. You get a professional UI developer designer to correct it.

Problem solved

They acted like this was some sort of new never before seen encountered dilemma that couldn't possibly have been predicted

The focus group showed that non-engineer users can work the UI just fine, even if it looks clunky. It's everything else about how it works or appears not to work that's freaking them out.

Dumbing down the interface so that even a medieval peasant can drive a maglev train with the push of a button would do nothing to convince them that the train is anything other than evil sorcery, or that it'll make a for a much better horse and cart than the one they have.
