My apologies Kari.
My rather childish and mischievous tendencies should never be taken too seriously. I have only the one imperfectly mastered language, English. I am truly in awe of anyone who can converse in 4, however imperfectly.
But I do worry about the harm which can be done by 'masters of the universe,' drawing my allusion from Tom Wolfe. With that in mind, I'm thinking about this 'new field of design research' and will try to ask some more serious questions in a couple of days.
