iSurgery? :-)

There are two approaches to product design: risk-averse and risk-embracing.
The former accepts the status quo and tries to make living out of it. The
latter rejects it to make it better.

Some of us may remember that when the Mac first came out in the mid-'80s,
those wedded to the CLI and the keyboard made fun of it, declared the GUI
and the mouse toys. When the first iMac was introduced pundits declared it
DOA because it didn't come bundled with a floppy drive. When the first iPod
came out people who cannot spot a trend if their life depended on it decried
its lack of, well, everything under the kitchen sink. This is an old refrain
of the most pedestrian kind.

One of the most hilarious of the 5,000 comments I read on the iPhone was the
one from a man who declared the iPhone DOA because he couldn't download his
favorite Java-based astrology applet on it. Intelligent Design, indeed.

If all the iPhone commentary out there is not an argument against UCD, I
don't know what is. ;-)
