The following extracts from FM 5.0 point oput what I find to be the fatal flaw in the "Design" construct.
The first paragraph (3.26) says that design helps one figure out what problem one is supposed to solve. That is, the design frames the problem. But the second paragraph (3-36) says that the problem frames the design. Unless "design" is being equivocally in these two paragraphs, this seems to say that design aids one to understand the problem by understanding the problem.
Or, maybe I'm just as dense as
Hacksaw.
