Isn't "efficiency" a value? I'm not clear how we can
avoid values. Maybe we're using the word differently.
Divergence doesn't inevitably lead to relativism. To say
there is no best (most efficient, most interactive, most
engaging, most __________) practice requires that we
commit to a particular practice, understand the implications
of the choice we have made, and take responsibility for its
consequences. This moves the matter of sustainability to
the practicing professional(or better yet, the local community
of practicing professionals), not (or not only) the
researcher/developer.
