I think the concept of a persona has morphed and been abused over time. With my team we use them as a tool to organise a set of assumption's or hypotheses that we want to test. Then through further user research tools we look to valida

The problem of finding the Centreline of the banana is similar to an issue you get in the GIS domain when rivers are captured as polygons. Although it's not a straightforward process a series of Vorononoi polygons makes a pretty good C
