Product people suffer from a bias called the “curse of knowledge": they develop expert knowledge about their product, they forget what it was like before they had that knowledge. And they can't imagine what it’s like for customers to not have this knowledge.
This becomes a significant problem when they make daily product discovery decisions without input from customers.
