All I can say is thanks and I'll just have to learn from this obvious failure. :D That said, one of the Dudes has gone in and made some corrections I'm glad you thought the idea has merit, it's something that I don't think gets enough focus in our industry. Nicky,

I’m glad you thought the idea has merit, it’s something that I don’t think gets enough focus in our industry.

The misspellings, lack of agreement, and erroneous apostrophes are legion. Isn't part of your message supposed to well-wrought communications? E.g.: "Failing back on excuses," "Fessing up to problems while the issue is still in it’s infancy," "miniscul," "Company’s like Dyson and Honda"... The ideas are good, but their escritorial rendering has way too many excreta. Brian, it looks like you failed to consult with your copy editor b4 publishing this article.

Regarding the line height, I'll see what I can do to fix that. Thanks Pedro and Blue Sail.

I walked away with the idea that we are all in in this together. We are building off each others failures and that is what makes the industry stronger. I recommend increasing the line height a bit, its a hard to read the paragraphs when the spacing is so tight. I think this is a great article.

In terms of research, I do not think that one can even really speak in terms of "failure", since "failure" merely implies a kind of learning that could be valuable in the future. I always like seeing the topic of failure in Interaction Design addressed. No serious discipline can avoid this topic, and as you very nicely put it : "The entire profession of design is one rooted in failure" Kudos!
