Isn't this rather too binary? I would prefer to think of evolution as the child
of context.
And what sort of "stakeholders conference" would bring the voice of the diverse
email user to microsoft's attention?
I do like "Enter the context" though. It could be a stage instruction as used
above or an imperative for designers. I have seen disabled people complain
that it is arrogant and superficial for outsiders to try to immerse themselves
in the disabled person's experience but I imagine that the same people will
readily complain that things are never designed appropriately for them. (I
complain all the time about everything so they have my sympathy on both counts)
