I have spilled ink on my passport application form, rendering it unusable.
Cost me an extra week to get back to the passport office, get a new form,
get to a "professional" to endorse the new one, etc.
Does that mean that the passport office form is destructive to usability
because it's not inkproof?
Or does it mean I should be more careful next time, and as a corollary,
that sh*t happens?
I also use the Reset button - here's one classic case:
Radio buttons without a default 'none selected' option. I think in practice
many, many, many more forms are "destructive to usability" because they do
not have such an option for their radio buttons.
