That's not what he said though. If you go back and read his original 
posting, he was commenting on the quality of *most arguments* about HCI, 
not HCI itself, or all HCI-related discussions.

While I wouldn't say it quite so strongly, I do think that there is a 
great deal of subjectivity in HCI discussions. One person's 'intuitive' 
may be another person's 'orange smoke', as we've seen in the current 
discussion.

I'm not saying that such discussion don't have merit, but we must be 
careful not to take our own sense of 'obviousness' too seriously. And 
that's what I think George was trying to say.
