Principle of Least Astonishment. The names of things should not mislead a reasonable user as to their purpose.

It is still the responsibility of the user to educate themselves on the things they use; but it's also the responsibility of the designer to make things straightforward and intuitive. I'm okay with blaming both of them, but don't pretend that the designer has no responsibilities here.
