- A good tool should be invisible, allowing users to focus on their work rather than the tool itself.
- Tool users often reframe a tool's shortcomings as enjoyable puzzles, confusing the feeling of cleverness with actual productivity.

- Productivity should be measured by actual output and efficiency, not by the engagement or cleverness felt while using a tool.
