That's useful. But better design comes from involving users. So, if the
process is done correctly, and users were involved in the process of
developing use-cases, actor lists (personas), etc. then that would
qualify as user-centered.

There's caution in using these pieces w/o involving users. A recent
client created their own personas (actors), which were marketing driven
(drivel). They were essentially useless, not to mention problematic,
when it came to time for design/development.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In reality, they are not.
