designed by someone, whether or not they know what they're doing.""

In my early days of UCD-design evangelism, I used to refer to a frequent
alternative to UI design, or to user-centred design, which I sometimes
called "design by accident." After all, it hasn't always been the case
that someone does or does not know *what* they're doing. Many products
unfortunately still infest this world where someone -- usually an
unwitting coder or software architect -- didn't even know *that* they
were doing (design).
