I think the problem is that each one of those happens to be an *already*
established title and a job slot. Who needs an *additional* category so
amorphous and inclusive that its own practitioners cannot agree on its
boundaries? That IA principles are useful and the 'combination' (as you put
it) has a shot to survive, I think, is fairly well accepted. Can you say the
same thing about IA, the title?

Best,

Ziya
