Heh, you tell me. I'm saying we should do both -- support IAs who want to
take on responsibilities 'bigger' than sitemaps and wireframes, and support
IAs who simply want to get better and better at being an IA. Your posts
often suggest that the former is everything and that the latter is a dead
end. If you think otherwise, then we're all good.
