Pop quiz: What percentage of non-geeks can tell the difference between an
interaction architect and an interaction designer?

Bonus points: What percentage of the above would even know what either of
them does?

Grand prize: What percentage of the above would care either way?

For the ultimate vacation package: Is "public" (as quoted from Wurman) our
primary audience/client/customer/center of focus, when worrying about
terminology?
