Most common mistake about Use Cases

"Most people go astray right from the start with use cases. Perhaps it is the
similarity between use case diagrams and dataflow diagrams which leads
people to define use cases that are simply functions or menu items.
Whatever the reason may be, it is notably the most prevalent mistake that
novices make." - by Kurt Bittner

Kurt Bittner in very simple manner describe why Use Cases are not a functions and what they are exactly. Unfortunately there is no original link from Rational Software (IBM) available.
