Object Oriented Analysis Is An Oxymoron

[Tony Markos <ajmarkos -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Ronica:

UML - ykes!!!  Be aware, Object Oriented Analysis
(OOA) is an oxymoron.  OOA techniques mix analysis
with design.  The main stated reason for doing such,
say the OOA gurus, is a clean transfer from analysis
to design.  Unfortunately, the result is usually poor
analysis as a result of trying to do both analysis and
design at the same time.

TW's do not need to understand design considerations. 
We deal with the end-user's experience.  We need to
understand analysis.
