Well ... there's a big difference between asking someone what they want,
and watching what they do. Also, that quote refers to product
definition, not detailed design. So, why I often agree with the notion,
I'll call bullshit on that quote for this particular point.

However, this is a now a pretty meta-discussion, so I'll also call
uncle, and leave this up to the pros.

Cheers, Rick
