I won't speak for all usability folk, but, at UIE, we don't have the goal 
to *rectify* problems. Our objective is to learn whether those who design 
stuff (you?) actually achieve the goals they set out to achieve with the 
designs they create. Hopefully, we can all learn from that experience and 
it will inform and improve everyone's designs going forward.

I should've stated I was assuming the goals of this page was to provide a 
directory of resources to anyone interested in the topics it pointed to. 
That's the context under which I inspected it. Whether that was the 
designers original intent or not is something I'm not privy to. However, it 
was the context that the thread started under.
