Dear Chuck,
I don¹t mind questioning the use of things (utility) but I grow concerned

For me, the essential aspect of a theory is that it shows something that
couldn¹t otherwise been seen.
At this level of just showing, the ³purpose² would seem to be a rather
lightweight thing like ³because humans like to show stuff²
The question of purpose is important, for me, when it comes to other
conceptual things like models and guides.
Hence: the purpose of this guide to design thinking is to
And
The purpose of this model of design thinking is to . . .
What do you think?
