and only the people who
are part of the conversation matter. There are no other real "users."
This is another important reason that Design is better developed outside
Art.
Adding to the problems is when designers are indoctrinated with this Art
cultural view.
The idea has been proposed holus bolus that design should be defined as a
conversation with users.
To do this oversimplifies design activity to the point where many crucial
issues remain unaddressed.
In general, oversimplification is a problem for Design that Art causes
across the board.
It is the nature of Art practice to address things more simply than needed
in Design.
