As someone who is completely outside this debate (I am doing a software
engineering degree) could I ask for an executive summary of this debate?

(For information,
- my interest in activity theory is in the use of computer-based systems

- my father taught me to read using phonics and by reading to me. This
put me several years ahead of the other students).
