Expect that people's explanations
of what they do and why they do it
will be related to what they _actually_ do
and why they _actually_ do it,
but if you care to meet or exceed their ability
never take those explanations at face value.

It is well known that the ability of individuals
to perform complex practiced tasks
_far_ exceeds their ability to explain their process.[^1]
