What "Product Semantics" do an attached power and audio cable
communicate?

Yes, user interface and industrial design do employ metaphor and
consistent semantic sets to make use of a thing more intuitive, but to
suggest that the ethereal and subjective concept of "product semantics"
should influence actual usage in this way is to abdicate intelligence
and tortue the very concept of design semantics.

The fact that the unit's "design semantics suggest portability" to you
should not be enough to convince you that you should be carrying it
room to room regularly.  Suggestion to the contrary is neat
balderdash.

I'm happy that Slim Devices credits me with the literacy and
intelligence required to use their products properly without having to
be beaten over the head with the obvious.
