       For what it's worth, I don't put a lot of faith in "hallway testing".  The reason is that we're already experts on our product: we all know what it's *supposed* to do.  We need to work with people who aren't as close to the problem as us.

       FWIW I'm not too keen on the three-dot solution myself, but I've not got a better solution at this time.

(You have to make them pretend to click, using a highlighter or something.)
