I tend to agree with you, though I would guess that this shameless FUD is mostly a response to shifting economic times and a need to justify expensive services - and maybe a sign that Cooper isn't changing with the times? In any case, I think it's a good thing that designers (whether interaction, UI, experience or whatever) are being forced to deepen their understanding of what it means to do quality work and what that work entails. As the public's awareness of design evolves, ours must too - gone are the days when a "designer" could call the shots merely because s/he knew HTML, or CSS. And good riddance! Well put, Etan.
