This is great and has made a few things fall into place for me. Now thinking about the connection between indexicality and my own favourite bit of horrible jargon, cognitive decoupling.

I suppose at least they avoided silly bananaphone mechanisms that can't work. But it does seem like a big missed opportunity.

Yes, it was exactly their contempt for the bananaphone that motivated this. The PARC EM people were SO scathing about it privately (and rightly so). Of course they were surrounded by 1980s cogsci people who were bananaphoning all the things. It was awkward.

A consequence is that all the EM ethnographies of science dance around the topic while carefully avoiding it, and look at spaciotemporally adjacent phenomena instead. Which means that, AS USUAL, I have to do the basic grunt work highly-paid professionals can’t be bothered with
