Hold steady, Ambrose. I've got your back. We'll turn back the heathens. ;-)
The real killer in these discussions is the wonderfully evil term "user". Who are these mysterious people? They are the benefactors of the hard work. But are they users in the classic sense? People with their one-button mice and irreplaceable batteries? Or are they the helpdesk people, who have to deal with the calls about how to replace the batteries, or answering questions about the difference between left and right clicking? Or are they the finance people, who will see a cost reduction from labor costs because of streamlined use cases? The term User means a lot of different things. And UCD (or Design, or Agile, or whatever) needs to address ALL of them to be done properly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
