Point I had in mind in automotive terms.

Vehicle is safe, and does well in crash tests. Driver has a license

and follows basic care of oil changes and tires.

While driving they fail to pay attention to driving and instead pay

attention to their appearance, their phone, the children in the back

seat, and watching UTube videos as they drive.

In the IT side the Phishing schemes, eCards, free porn are many

distractions that computer "drivers" get derailed on.

It has nothing to do with an app, and everything to do with the user's

lack of attention to reality.
