Senior Researcher needed - I have a very exciting opportunity for a senior researcher with expertise in design, HCD, UX or related discipline. Help us develop new inter-disciplinary research projects. Apply here: itrentselfservice.cardiffmet…
Spot on - people arguing that it is not confusing to them, or, that other people should not be confused, are missing the point. Some people do get confused, a better design could reduce this - what that better design is should be determined through user testing.

‘I don’t disagree’ is rarely a complete sentence (in my experience). More usual would be ‘I don’t disagree, but...’ Usually indicative of agreement in principle with another’s statement, but considering that there may be conditions where the statement is not entirely agreeable.
