I guess you will to address UCD as philosophy. As previous gays said, there're two level for UCD in the design culture, one from design philosophy perspective, other from process perspective. Design cant avoid the former one, because all artifact is "by the people, for the people and of the people", but that dosent means one should follow some named UCD process ( most of the case, it more like a street to a dead end, but it's not a reason to say design is not centered on people and people's needs ). On of Jared's argumentation is good design, or the quality of design, which is the a very good topic, but that's a different perspective for design ( UCD is for the people from philosophy perspective ), good design is for the quality perspective, they have no conflicts from the root, treat them as conflict or same level problem is a problem.
