It should read " ... is not ONLY having meetings ...."
What I failed to mean is that designing for the user can be both ways.
That not doing it the formal way doesn't mean that it's not user
centered.

In fact, my whole point is that however you do it, you always are
aiming at the user.
Even in the most severe self-referential design, the designer designs
for the single user, himself. This is a deviation, sort of a
psychopathic design.  :-)
