Why do so many adults say "I can't dance"? Why does protein mean meat, and "relationship" mean romance? In this book, Ravi Sandhu names the hidden pattern behind them all: the Application Dominance Effect. It happens when one use of something becomes so common that people mistake it for the thing itself, and every other option disappears from view.
