 The "See My Path" button's effects are unintuitive for a user at that
 point in sequence, and the button click may get skipped by people
 utilizing a different form of navigation through Onboarding.

 Prior to "See My Path", each button was essentially a "go to next" button.
 Nothing in the "Circuit Display" paragraph indicates it will have a
 different effect than that.

 Furthermore, the button doesn't advance the Onboarding screen (unlike
 prior buttons) - it just marks "Circuit Display" as done, thus leaving
 either of these navigation paths:
 * user directly clicking on "Security" (or later)
 * closing the Onboarding window and re-opening it (which "advances" the
 Onboarding because "Circuit Display" was marked as done)

 A user may thus //also// try to click the button again, being so far
 trained to expect the button to cause navigation.

 A similar thing happens for "Security" / "Review Settings" and "Experience
 Tips" / "See FAQs". However, for "Security", the text in the paragraph
 does indicate that something else will happen in response to the button
 click.

 (Encountered in TB 8.0)
