And the point of the article was:

PPV> Often we are guided by ideas that we simply take for granted as
PPV> received wisdom; we apply categories and habits of thought to our
PPV> daily activity without questioning their value to our practice.
PPV> The ideas I want to explore with you and overturn are of this
PPV> type. 

Thus, I do not see the article as one about whether design is
contextual. It is about designers not designing.
