- If every action raises a dialog, people learn to dismiss them reflexively, and the one that mattered is clicked through with the rest — the safety value collapses through habituation
This sourceShows that repeated nonessential dialogs habituate users, causing important warnings to be clicked through and undermining their safety value.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
