That's my point. Many of the "usability professionals" I run into  
don't see usability as multi-factor. Unfortunately, many of them  
equate usability to efficiency and intuition, which are only a small,  
albeit significant, part of the pie.

While intuition and efficiency are important parts, we can't forget  
about learnability, satisfaction, and the ability to inevitably  
complete a task/goal.

Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
