Hi Mike,
​
I see several problems with this proposal:
​
  • Somewhere north of 90% of the words are quotes from other websites, not your own words.
    ​
  • If the quotes were of evidence then I might not consider it a problem, but they're just someone else arguing for your point of view. I'd like to see evidence supporting the point of view, and I'd like to see arguments in your own words.
    ​
  • Qualities like beautiful, fast, amazing, etc., are subjective. What is beautiful, fast or amazing to one person is not for another. You need to offer some objective criteria and evidence.
​
If you decide you'd like to try a rewrite I'd be glad to give it another look.

Hi Mike,
​
I think all you need in your proposal is objective criteria for detecting design, or maybe you meant for detecting good design.

Boiling it down, you're making these arguments:
​
  • Design is recognized by how an object's components are arranged.
    ​
  • Good design is recognized by whether other designers copy it.
​
I ask participants to keep the focus on these arguments.
