I never mentioned anything about skipping lo-fidelity or skipping the design process in general. Why are you (and others) making that leap from what I'm saying? Also, you mentioned there are situations in which *not* using (emphasis yours) hi-fi prototypes make sense. Again, if budget and time were not an issue, which situations are you then referring to? > If your basic lo-fi prototype is working and you've got the time > and budget > then I think a hi-fi prototype is valuable.

This is going in circles. Let's stop presuming building a prototype constitutes skipping the design process or even skipping lo-fi versions on the path the hi-fi. Remember, I stated "paper is a design tool." Design for happens well before prototyping, and continues all the way through. -- Andrei Herasimchuk Principal, Involution Studios innovating the digital world e.
