I suggest not to usurp an activity that is common and basically human.
What would you say if a poet tells you that you should not speak because
s/he is an expert?
Professional designers should be better is some respect than everyday
people, but they are the experts in their own life. Don't forget that!

Subject: Design By All
This morning I designed the towel layout on the rail and the position of
the pyjamas placed on my duvet.
I designed the butter layout on my toast and the position of my seat in the
car. I then designed where I put my umbrella in the office and the layout
of the rubbish accumulating on my desk.
I designed a few words for this email and will continuously perform acts of
'design' throughout the day.
Come on list, it is getting ridiculous - can we really have "design by
all'?
We have courses specifically setup to nurture those with design talent - if
the DR argument is now that "social design" is the future - then logically
speaking the courses should all be summarily suspended, leaving a few on
this list seeking other careers.
