A master and a student are sitting in a forest, reflecting. Two men walk by, vehemently discussing whether a household item's design is acceptable. After they pass, the student tells the master: "The opinionated user-experience enthusiast is right. Every wrong decision is not just a single day ruined, time wasted, or train of thought lost, but thousands. However, the pragmatician is also right: it is not reasonable to expect every object we use to attain UX perfection. They are built by flawed people with real constraints. Tell me master, which one of those men is closer to the Way?" The master thinks for a while, then gives an answer. But the student does not hear it, because he forgot to turn off his Bose™ noise-cancelling headphones.
