Gaining an understanding of design rationale from a scientific method is extremely useful when dealing with planning visual interaction. We should all look at web design the same way that we look at industrial and product design–as simply another way humans interface with the tangible world. They eyes are as important a sense as touch. Too often web design is overlooked as a feel-good sales tool when in reality it's often PART of the product. I wonder however, if it would be more useful to compare websites, as you have, with more similar goals/products/services, etc. as a better way of looking as solving usability problems. Apples to apples as we say here in the States. Looking forward to more on the subject. I’m really enjoying this series.
