Oh, what an irony indeed... that you have to go through such gymnastic
contortion just to escape from your own words:

AJ> The principles for Human-Centred Design (HCD) are:
AJ>  - the active involvement of users and a clear understanding of
AJ>    user and task requirements 
AJ>  - an appropriate allocation of function between users and
AJ>    technology 
AJ>  - the iteration of design solutions
AJ>  - multi-disciplinary design.

See the above "AJ>" quote for what your own denial. Should I expect
another of your contorted excuse?
