Is it just me, or are there some words missing in the quoted text ? What does "Disable a control when users expect it to apply and they can easily deduce why the control is disabled." Did they mean "can't easily deduce" ?

I think what they meant was "disable a control when users expect the 'disabling' to apply", that is, the 'it' in that sentence refers to the act itself of disabling the control. In any case, I agree that the wording is confusing. It would have been much clearer if they had said


"Disable a control when users expect the control to be disabled or when they can easily deduce why the control is disabled."
