Indeed. Reading this thread leaves me wondering how anyone who claims to
be an expert would not understand that any notions of usability depend
entirely on the target audience.

a somewhat famous quote to the effect that you cannot convince someone
of the rightness of something if his income is dependant on him not
understanding.
