As with every other attempt to "force people" to do something via UX limitations, I think that's doomed to fail.

The whole notion of forcing users to change their behavior by placing obstacles in their way is futile in my experience. It's a grave misunderstanding of who users are and how to design for them.

Forcing users to do what you want them to is how you get desire paths [1]
