It's not about research now? In which ways isn't it? I believe skeumorphism is just about aesthetics and trends. Well, actually I don't, I'm not sure what I should think I'm not aware of any research and can't make a good argument either way. Unlike the author I don't pretend I can though. There might be a problem, it might just be a figment of the authors imagination. In either case articles like this one certainly are a problem.
