LOL. 'Usability architects' ? Is that what
they call themselves today ?
The bright types that decide that every application should have 'File',
'Edit' and 'View' menus even if that doesn't make any sense ? The
ones
who proclaim that inconsistencies and broken abstractions from popular
apps should be copied into new ones because people like them ? Looks
more like failed marketeers to me - those too do watch trends and
fashion and base their 'thruth' on them.
A bit less generalization, and you'd have a point. Of course trolling
is so much more fun :)

That's what _I_ call usability architects. Where your misplaced
understanding of the job comes from I can only wonder.
