Comment 10 for bug 726978

My intention was not to repeat what I already said, but to continue on your thoughts. I am sorry if you found my last post had nothing new to contribute - I earnestly thought I was adding to the conversation, and also giving a little taste on the research at the end of my post - research of competing products is also important in user centered design.

I was not aware you do not welcome critical discussion about reasoning behind design decisions. In my opinion, the kind of discussion I thought we were having is exactly what is needed to make sure the design decisions are based on sound principles. I presented different usage scenarios where what I am proposing might be useful, and where it might be harmful. Usage scenarios are often used in user centered design processes. Nonetheless, I wish to present my apologies if I failed to respect your policy.

I warmly welcome your thoughts about the kind of research you would expect to get done on a question like this.
