Confidence or not, experience or not, you can't actually know how something will turn out until it's done. He says he will never have to resort to RED.

Jared isn't a designer—he's a researcher, and a widely respected one at that. And one of the many things he's researched is how successful design teams work. It would be far wiser for you to read his articles than dispute his qualifications. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
