From the point of view of a user, there is not really a difference
between the two.  As a user, you form a mental model of how things
work by looking at the interface. If the interface is bad, the user
creates a faulty model in his head, and starts doing things that
are perfectly logical in the faulty model, but stupid and silly when
you consider the actual internals.

A nice book about this is "The Design of Everyday Things" by Donald
Norman.
