Indeed.

      1. An axiom in usability research is to not treat developers or 
researchers as subjects (unless they really are the target audience.) 
In terms of cognitive detail and usage style, such folk differ 
substantially from the general user population.

      2. Any general claim about users in general needs to have some 
sort of statistical basis that gives credence to that generalization.

Simply put, you or I or John do not matter in this calculus.  We are the 
essence of a biased sample...
