Dear François,
Thank you for the feedback.
I'm not sure what you mean with levels of intelligence. Do you mean the
kind of level that can be assessed with IQ testing? Or some other kind of
level altogether?
By levels of ability I suppose you mean different levels of expertise; but
wouldn't addressing the problem of expertise make an already long
definition even longer?
But perhaps Design is not the type of concept that can be articulated in a
concise definition.
