Ken,
Sorry, yes, I should have been more clear.
I took "researcher" and "designer" as roles, or perhaps models of general
categories of behaviours, not as singular groups of narrowly skilled people.
That is, a given individual may be both a researcher and a designer, and
that, in practice, research activities and design activities may appear to
overlap substantively. It is, however, convenient to think of them as two
different, interacting modes, each of which can be studied and considered
either individually or as parts of a greater whole.
