That's all fine and good, but the opposite holds true as well, right?  
In other words, if I'm not allowed to make "edicts" that paper is not  
prototyping, then who are you or anyone else on this list to say to  
say that paper is indeed legitimate prototyping? Or to make such  
claims to the industry and sets those types of expectations with  
clients or non-designer types? And then we go down the road of it  
depends, it's all personal opinion, etc., at which point, discussing  
anything seems irrelevant, don't you think?

At the end of the day, I'll make this prediction: In the very near  
future (let's say within ten years), those designers in the high  
technology field that don't increase their skill set to create more  
robust prototypes with their own hands will fall by the wayside as  
those designers that do start to overtake the field.

Then obviously it won't matter who has what opinion.
