Maybe you are right at hinting that the Mr. Chris McEvoy seems to also have
a problem with the fat paycheck that consultants often get.. On another
dimension also have a look @ "A succotash of projections and insights" by
Marc Retting (in "Practical Programming" from May 1992 - Communications of
the ACM vol 35. no. 5, pp. 25~30) for an insight of team dynamics based on
the different mode of engagement of usability personel with the development
team.. (on-request vs. continuous involvement).

White coats are very similar to stray-jackets! You should be able to find at
least one white coat when you see at least one stray jacket! :-) Who knows,
maybe it works the other way round too? :-0

Have a good weekend

I also find not letting users design pretty good, too. :-)
