>I'm pretty sure "UX" was created as a term in response to the market getting flooded with stylists

UX is an umrbella term[1] for usability related disciplines; it's recent conflation as a buzz-word has led to the misinterpretation of it's original meaning.

>UX won't get similarly watered down?

It already has been seeing as how no one seems to know what it means.

I have seen very similar diagrams. except the circle in that diagram labeled "UX" is usually labelled "Design".

And incidentally what on earth is HCI, Human Factors, and Industrial design doing all disjoint? they should all overlap.
