I just wanted to add that I've been blogging a mini-series of posts this
week about my skepticism in general about a lot of user research: about how
bad much of it is, about how it is often used inappropriately, about how
common sense and individual expertise is too-often neglected in favor of
questionable research conclusions. I say some pretty strident things, and
I'm probably wrong about a lot of it. I'd love to hear what this community
thinks.
