No tricks or mis-clicks need to occur because the user needs to be un-interrupted by motion or action. Hicks Law states that web-pages or other types of mediums need to be categorized. Categories need to be useful and be capable of narrowing down items or decisions. Buttons need a purpose and the reaction needs to be accurate to the user's expectation.

The folders are categories for organization.
