It's when implementers of executable code (programmers) dabble in
interface/interaction/usability that we inevitably get into trouble.

Like I said, I'm not sure if you're being humorous here.

In case it's not clear, my comments aren't simply descriptive of how things
are currently, but prescriptive of how they should be.

In many corporate settings, for example, the PM is the conductor. And as far
as Design is concerned that's a travesty. The PM is no more a strategic
problem solver (my partial definition of a designer) than, say, the
accountant who signs the checks on a project. (Doesn't mean they are not
important players, but just that they ought not to be the conductor.)
