inRant: a client's offhand comment about 'just restarting it' made me rethink my whole approach
That line about training users to treat symptoms really hits home. My buddy who does phone support had a user who'd restart her router three times a day like a ritual, never understanding why. He started adding a one line explanation, like "that clears the connection," and she actually calls less now. A tiny bit of context changes the whole game.
