This is more political than I'd like to see here, but I guess you could relate this concept to product design. If you have an idea of what's "best" for your users, you could arrange your UI so that that's how they use it.

In that case, why not relate it directly to product design instead of dragging politics into it? It's a concept that's expressed well in books like "The Paradox of Choice".
