This makes quite a bit of sense to me, but again, how is it different from
Design?

This is a mistaken way to view content-- think of a novel. it's not always
knowing as much as replicating an experience in words--- a good novel is
successful experience design... but do we need a word for it?

the more I think of it, the more I feel like perhaps experience design is a
kind of protestant movement-- rebelling against the old church in hopes of
reforming it, a new church has been build with a new name... still design,
feeling that HCI has somehow forgotten the nature of the "H", it reminds us
humans have experiences...
