> Personas are a classic example of a method that is "valid" in
Martin's terms.

That's an interesting article, but I must admit it has me confused
as to whether personas would be an attempt at validity or
reliability. I see personas as an attempt to represent a product's
users, the goal being to reliably categorize users into types so that
the product can be designed to fit those types. I see that as putting
the method on the reliability side, although I'm uncertain as to
whether it actually is reliable.

Or looked at from another angle, can personas be considered valid if
they don't represent actual users?

Thank you for the link.
