The problem with data is it requires analysis, which implies interpretation, which can introduce bias anyways. Then you're misled into thinking you're making right decisions based on data when you're actually making it based on subjective interpretation. Using data as an input into design is great. Being tethered to it (or needing it for every decision) is not so good, IMO, FWIW. :) -a ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
