> are you in fact re-branded systems analysts?

Well, I most certainly am NOT a systems analyst. Systems
analysts deal (as far as I've understood it) how information/
data flows in large organisations and the like. I deal mainly
with how humans and other things think. (Specifically cognitive
psychology, linguistics, AI, neuroscience and cogntive
anthropology, philosophy of mind... the list goes on).
I know bugger all about economics and organisation theory.
