[Sigia-l] Human-Centered Design 99% bad

No. I'm saying that possibilities inherent in the design of a phone book
allow it to be used as a monitor stand. 

If it only served the intent of the designer, it would be an expression of
the designer and best displayed in an art gallery. Good luck!

So you are claiming that part of the "design" of the phonebook is being a
monitor stand? And if it only served the "intent" of the designer it would
not be considered "good design"? If that's the case, we don't have a common
language to discuss this any further.
