Nice presentation Andrew, I wish I could have seen it live!
I think your point is that there are a lot of “things” above the *task* level that affect the context of the user? If so, I very much agree.
I started to explore this a few years ago with this diagram:

Hmm. Seems a core insight is that product-making cultures tend to make products that reflect their own worldviews, rather than that a misplaced focus on goals leads to irrelevant experiences [though this is also true]. I think there’s lots of opportunity for the typically outstanding inkblurt take on this topic – and I’m too lazy to take it on at the moment :)
