So let's negotiate the true value? How else are you going to know if you're delivering technology thats useful? You said there are other reasons, what are those reason? I've gone to restaurants to meet friends... and ultimately we all eat to satisfy our hunger. My point is that tasks are derived from functional requirements, they aren't context free, and if you make them context free then we're just doing what ever we want? To analogise, why do you have relationships in databases and indexes? An index is a flat map to speed up lookups on known queries, you don't get at the meat of your query in the index, the meat of what you want is in the row and it's relationships. You have an object graph for a reason, and yeah it was the hard part, but it's what makes a model useful. ... and to counter the quote... What's the point of your users experience if it's not to get them to where they are deriving value?
