How many times have you heard this phrase in the context of cultural institutions? It''s presumptuous to suggest that we know what people "need" in a cultural context. But that doesn''t mean we know what visitors/audiences/humans need. I don''t hear this phrase accompanied by evidence-based articulation of "needs" of audiences.
