So, once again, I'll propose all this bickering about the difference
of IA/IxD, or why people aren't UX Designers, but are IAs or IxDs is
an argument for 0.001%. The case where any of us are working on a
system that won't have both IA and IxD is statistically non-existent.
So, why are we arguing over 0.001%?
Incidentally, whether intentional or not, the appearance here is that
IxD is trying to become the "dominant" field in UX and not acknowledge
that the IA field can or has evolved. Dan, I have the utmost respect
for you, your work, and your contributions to the community, but some
of your most recent claims, like games don't have IA, are simply bogus
(as I've clearly shown by illustrating they do have IA).
Is IxD purely Interface design? Is IA purely about content for the
web? It's pathetic that this even has to be asked.
This is like watching a bunch of kindergartners argue over which M&M
is better.
Cheers!

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