However, I have been listening to several on my design team who are leveraging the language of "hypothesis" when discussing design options. I hear that as another layer of abstraction away from real people using technologies in authentic situations.<br>They seem to use that language as an excuse for not talking with and observing actual humans. <br><a href="https://hci.social/tags/ExperimentalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExperimentalDesign</span></a></p>

The thing is that's a bit too obvious, so students tend to pick up the deception. Can anyone direct on a not so obvious yet false scientific paper?
