Robert,
You misunderstand me.
I'm suggesting the influences of Art are especially unhelpful to the 7% and
merely generally unhelpful to the other 93%.
One thing, some recent comments seem excessively protective of, and give
privilege to, Art over Design.
This provides some support for the first half of the suggestion - that the
general understanding of Design is corrupted by being reinterpreted through
the norms of Art.
Best regards,
Terry

So, Terry, being as you are now quoting percentages, is your initial
point that Art is 'helpful' to 7% of Design disciplines but
'unhelpful' to the other 93% of Design disciplines? If so, that suits
me fine (and others it seems), and I simply wonder why those who might
be in the majority should be so concerned. I must admit I did have the
impression from your initial email that you seem to be suggesting some
kind of 'ethnic cleansing'. Or did I simply read too much into it?
Robert.
