Hazard: Usability Studies, proceed with caution.

So this study, by Saul Greenberg and Bill Buxton, is really a complaint against method more than anything. Usability Evaluation Considered Harmful (Some of the Time) is a paper that mostly complains against strict adherence to a method. It seems to me that if you have an experimental phase done in the front it would help this process a lot. It seems to me that Usability Evaluations is more of a refinement process than anything. You have to have a raw process in place before hand. So the complaint could largely be levied against just aribitrarily copying ideas.

Eh, it wasn't that bad.
