dear chuck,
are you making a 180 degree turn from your early insistence on the
conception of intentional individuals to social network determinism?
stake holder network theory goes only 90 degrees from either position. it
recognizes human agency (non-determinist design activity) within the social
constraints on what can be communicated to and inspires the stakeholders of
design who, after all, must contribute to the realization of a design.
