Jim,
I agree with that addition - it is a a great complement to site structure and quality analysis, and the overlay of traffic stats.
A study of the site reveals potential inherent problems in the site, so that customer satisfaction studies can incorporate
questions around those known or suspected issues
.
In a survey scenario, being able to focus that group with the questions you really want answered makes the exercise more productive all around. In a focus group scenario, perfect knowledge about the site strucure and quality enables the surveyors to put their subjects' experiences into context.

While Vividence indeed does tie these two things together, they do not correlate the information back to site design, structure and quality. Since the site is the thing that ultimately will be changed, its structure and characteristics must be taken into account.
Three real world examples - a link to a pornographic site, forms with no posted privacy statement, or pages that are too big to wait for - all issues that can be discovered by analylzing the site.(proactive approach) or having a visitor tell you, or worse, not tell you, and just go to your competitor.
