*Brett, * *Perhaps you missed the point.* Todd, Perhaps you didn't make yourself clear.
*Providing this illustration from the beginning would have saved a lot of wasted time on this argument.* You don't know that. Sometimes we have to go through this process to come to the conclusion that diagrams were needed. I don't call any of this 'a lot of wasted time'. You didn't have to be in the conversation in the first place. All of this is purely voluntary. Anyways, judging by people's responses I have made a strong and justified case which has been accepted. In all honesty, I really don't care about the 'years of research and studies'. I get way more out of these conversations then I do from reading others people's books and attending classes. I care more about listening to what my users are saying (I know you do too). *Tested it how? With how many people? What's the whole story? What's the context?* Not even 1 of these questions matter. Even if I answered and said "I tested it standing on my head with 10 candidates in clown suits in this kind of context in this situation"...the fact remains that my users came to the conclusion that I suggested from the beginning. ** I'm not going to make a scientific case to go against 'years of scientific research'. Most people here don't. I'm going to be the guy listening to the person saying "Can we move this thingy over here to make it easier to press?" > In all honesty I don't care about the years of research. You have your degree and I have mine. I have learned way, way more by simply speaking to people to get answers. If you have read my bio there are 2 things I am know for saying: 1. Human Touch before Human Factors 2. If you want to know how your users really feel, take off the damn lab coat and go stand in line with them. I never once suggested that the entire field should accept what I say as you stated in your response, but after long deliberation, I have come to the scientific conclusion that if everyone here listens to what I say, there won't be any problems. I tested this. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
