Possible answers (5)

. We've used too many safety elements, tips, and warnings on the product pages. Over time, our users developed a tolerance for such data and became immune to it.

, . What we consider to be an error is considered as a norm by the user.

. We've grouped UI elements awkwardly. We should find options for optimizing the interface without changing the usual workflows ().

. Mistakes occur because of user inactivity. We need to change the form of communication () and clearly show the problems that may follow because of inaction (, ).

. Our users rely too much on system hints.
