Dear All,
In my reply to Bill Cope, I omitted a crucial word in one sentence — *today* — and three crucial words in another sentence, *for Common Ground*. The note should have read:

After reading your note, I’m not prepared to dispute your statement that the Design Principles and Practices Collection represents “thousands of authors who have published so many theoretically insightful and practically transformative articles and books” in design-related fields. At the same time, I’m not ready to accept a statement at such variance with a major global study. A proper bibliographic or scientometric study will demonstrate what the situation is *today*.
Such a study should reveal any major body of publications that advances theory while transforming practice. I can say with certainty that this was not the case *for Common Ground* five years ago. Fields move and change, and I’m not prepared to state the case today. I’d like to know.

My apologies for this vital omission.
