Usability (better: user-friendlyness ) is about supporting the learning process.

One question is *which* existing knowledge, understanding or
learning process. The software itself or the application
domain ? It's IMHO not the task of a developer of audio
sofware to teach audio engineering, not even to make his
application usable for someone who doesn't have the
required background. And the expectation (common enough)
that you can learn any application domain by clicking
around in some software is just not realistic.

As someone who's had to deal with MS Access databases created by people who know nothing about databases except how to click buttons in MS Access - I agree completely.
