    I might be guilty of using this. When I first heard it, it was used to describe a designer whom conducts user research, interaction design, visual design, runs usability tests, etc. At the time it made sense.

    I think in retrospect it just adds more confusion.

      I think it's more like insurance.

      Protection against the flaky generalists & shit managers in the industry opting to water down what a designer can offer (user research, interaction design, visual design, usability testing) – tucking them into a production funnels.

      And against UX evangelists / out-dated iA wankers looking to be the Moses of button sizes & site architecture.
