Thank you. I will look up your definition.
But right now that is beside the point.
The point we are discussing is the classification of design disciplines that can be gleaned from the views you express about those A/B types of knowledge you were talking about.

Sorry... the "burden of proof" is upon you... you haven't explained why, for instance, CAM is a "type B".
Besides, I already wrote what I think is the essence of design and the reason why there are multiple design disciplines, like "web design" or "fashion design", etc.
