I feel a similarity between this and infiniscroll, without trying to draw false parallels. Whenever each comes up, I find myself asking "but why do I even want this?". It feels like a bunch of people trying to iterate on techniques for the sake of iterating on techniques. I have some slight equivocation with myself over the above, after having written it; since it seems to lead the question "isn't almost everything just iterating until a breakthrough", but to be pragmatic, I have to draw a line somewhere before I start shaving yaks, and perpetually tweaking how I look at "THIS REFERS TO SOMETHING SOMEWHERE ELSE" seems to be getting quite four legged and fuzzy, so I'll leave it in. (to be more productive about this all, if a UI designer wants to try and make a compelling argument for "why I want this", I'd certainly give it the time of day)
