What I'm "selling" is my own frailty.

Try as I do to listen careful to users, managers, all involved ... I 
don't get it quite right.  In little but often important ways, my 
screens, or my site, will be "off".  (Sometimes in big ways, but I 
don't emphasize that!)

User testing, as part of an iterative process, keeps me honest and 
insures that the result will work.
