Please don't be irked. The point is relevant and genuine: given the option, people will often use simple methods and fail to exploit the power of any facility. That's unfortunate. Indeed, even people who have learned efficient techniques will occasionally revert to less efficient methods. In doing so, they reinforce their memory of the poor techniques and make it even less likely they will harness the power of the product next time they need the same facility. That's one reason why good employers retrain their staff regularly.
