More specifically, there was a system whereby people could vote for "best
design" and there was a pulldown to specify one's "category" - which
included things like "manufacturer," "architect," "product designer," etc.
But no "engineer." As if we (engineers) are unqualified to pass judgement
on a design, but a "manufacturer" is. Sorry, but that's bollocks.
Their attitude nearly smacks of a 'no true scotsman' fallacy. Maybe I'm
just old and cranky, but I'm fed up with it.
