TL;DR
A survey of seventy-seven highly motivated industrial designers and programmers indicates that the identification of specific, potential problems in a human-computer dialogue design is difficult.

Communications of the ACMDesigning computer system messages
63 Citations1982Ben Shneiderman
Novice users are unimpressed with CPU speeds, disk storage capabilities, or elegant file structures, and for them, the system appears only in the form of the messages on their screens or printers, so when novices encounter violent messages such as “FATAL ERROR, RUN ABORTED’, vague phases like “ILLEGAL CMD”, or obscure codes such as "OC7" or "IEH2191", they are understandably shaken, confused
