I have followed this thread, and its various incarnations, with interest, or rather bemusement. I have found it difficult to understand how so many words can be devoted to discussing the meaning (or absence of meaning) of words. And then of course, the inevitable competing claims for ownership of those words. At last, a few words from Klaus Krippendorff has made sense of it for me-
"if someone claims to have mastered "design thinking" I would say: ok, show me."
This explains nicely why the kind of knowing that comes from practice-led research is so important and how it can sometimes only be fully articulated by outcomes that are not in the form of words.
