I understand how this happens in fashion design or product design. Students make something then test it in some manner then make something again. How does that work for social design or any of the big picture design modes people have been talking about here?

Someone whose educational background is biology but she sells life insurance might be considered an insurance salesman rather than a biologist. How does that affect our beliefs about biology?
