I've seen this a fair bit with some customers. I've had a few times where I've had to ask the user how they're going about a particular process, only to find out they're doing it in a quite different way than I expected. And what they're doing isn't necessarily wrong - they sometimes know the app I've developed better than I do, because they deal with it every day, while I only deal with it when I'm having to add new features or troubleshoot a bug.
