Dear ali
I am disturbed to say the least that by your own admission you have not even looked at the survery questions and yet are so quick to agree with whatever Nigel Cross says. I feel a lot more criticality is needed.
Re: the survey we probably need to look at the analysis and admitted limitations. The more immediate and natural thing note is really Cross' claim that the results cannot in anyway contribute to design science, which sounds very very sweeping.
In any case the survey is now closed.

Hi,
I agree with Nigel Cross's points (though I have not looked at the questions). In these kind of surveys distributed through email lists, coverage and non-response errors tend to be very high (since it is not a non-probability sample), and there is a lot of self sampling selection bias (there are typically huge differences between those who choose to answer and those who do not).
Furthermore, even if the sampling was right (which is not), around 200 respondents will yield a very large sampling error. If the target is the international design community, a much larger sample is needed.
My two cents,
ali o. ilhan
