Abstract
de Winter and Eisma (Citation2024) commentary is not the first to discuss long-standing issues within Ergonomics and Human Factors (EHF) and it will not be the last (e.g. Dul et al. Citation2012; Salmon et al. Citation2022, Citation2024; Shorrock and Williams Citation2016). Critical self-reflection within any scientific discipline is healthy and indeed essential. Fade of a discipline comes at a time when the contribution, relevance, and even existence of EHF is being questioned. The world is changing, technologies are advancing rapidly, and EHF should be more relevant than ever. It is not, and de Winter and Eisma provide some insight as to why it may not be. Whilst I agree with some of their points, I believe some only present part of the picture, and some I disagree with.
