An honest interface never makes you guess. Where you are, what changed, what will happen next — all of it is on the surface, legible at a glance.
No hidden modes
Every hidden mode is a small betrayal of the user's model of the system. The cure is rarely more explanation; it is fewer secrets.
If you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
