Abstract
This paper briefly reviews difficulties in the way scientists and engineers reason about the relationship between human and machine. It argues that there is a polarisation between technically-oriented reasoning on the one hand, and socially-oriented reasoning on the other. It draws on the application of manufacturing business systems to health-care in order to unpack some of these polarities. The paper proposes a re-assessment of human-centred systems (HCS) thinking as a way to address these polarities, and seek a more equitable balance between the social and the technical.
