Would like to share this article/presentation ( many of you must have read it ) by Anne Galloway and seems to be contextual in the ongoing discussion (which is also to say that i subscribe to the idea presented here ):
Also, as Marco Siebertz had mentioned about Guy Bonsiepe, there's another paper by him titled 'Design as Tool for Cognitive Metabolism: From Knowledge Production to Knowledge Presentation', which i found it really interesting / inspiring too.
