No.
Never rely on the user.
Having watched my staff log in, and use various apps
over the years . . .
Staff don't read anything on the screen. They know the keypress
sequence and execute it at lightening speed, even using the keyboard
buffer to start on the next screen before it is even displayed !!
One example.
Before the days when computer time would automatically change with
daylight savings, as part of the log in screen staff had to confirm
that the displayed date and time were correct.
Guess how many times they answered "no" to that question ?
Exactly zero !!
