Dear Terry:
I feel that I have made several points sufficiently. The one about the field's lack of good studies of design thinkers on which to base further thought about design is an argument, which i believe I have made clearly enough.. The point about theory is an opinion. You are right. They are two different topics but are also related because I think the lack of competence in the former leads to a comparable lack of competence in the latter. I have no inclination to indulge in a jesuitical wrangle about the merits of design theorizing so I will leave you to your enterprise.
