You don't need any science to know to make an action with very serious consequences : hard to invoke (e.g. must click through three confirmation forms that all require some real-time thought to complete correctly) and clear in purpose (e.g. displays in large blinking text : "This is an action for which you'll be fired if you are doing it in error".

There had to have been quite the cavalcade of idiots behind the making of this system.
