Treating a signal as the problem guarantees another signal.

A signal points at something. Silencing it removes the pointer and leaves whatever it was pointing at fully intact, which means another pointer will appear, probably somewhere less convenient. This is true of the alert you muted, the pain you medicated, and the complaint you talked someone out of.

Before turning something off, ask what it was reporting. If you do not know, that is the first task. A signal you have not understood is not noise; it is a message you have not opened.
