Heresy!

I am certain this communication from me may seem unpolished and informal in
that we have not yet met. Be assured that your email was given me by a
member of the international committee for email popularity as a
distinguished person who may be interested in my trustworthy proposal.

Oh, ha, ha, enough of the faux email scam drivel.  However, if you want to
send me a bank account number...

Here's what I really want to discuss:

"Does Interaction Design have to be user-centered?"

In doing a little googling on the matter, it seems that most people define
interaction design as requiring some kind of user research, CI, ethnography,
whatever.  But is that a characteristic of ID or just user-centered ID?
What about ID that is based on existing use-cases, actor lists, and such
from the development team or the analysts. Does that qualify?
