Greetings from CMU. See <a href="http://usabilityworks.org/2007/07/09/i-can-exist-now-the-nyt-said-so/#comment-43535" rel="nofollow">my response</a> to Matthew Oliphant's similar take on the matter. Of course the design profession has made much more progress than the NYT article tells. But while the article belies the profession, we need to understand that it is a blip in the history of texts that explain usability. It's not a long article, nor is it a documentary of the profession. Hey Dan. Greetings from CMU.
