Let us take these two answers of yours in turn:
One, a decision to include or not include a feature is not
necessarily a conscious one, not necessarily one that is
reflected upon. But if it is a feature that could be left out,
but is not left out, then a decision to include it has been made.
If you don't like the word "decision" here, you can substitute
another one (you like making up words, you will enjoy it)
Two, everything that is a property of a particular cup is an
integral part of this cup. Is there something in Boji Design
Theory about "integrality" that you have failed to mention? An
ingredient that needs to be understood in order to understand the
rest of your treatise?
A cup could be designed without a bottom. For any number of
purposes. When a cup creator decides to put a bottom on a cup, as
he or she usually does, is this a design or engineering decision?
It is a tricky subject and you are just saying this and that and
not making a coherent whole. When you are asked a perfectly good
question, you ad hoc. "Oh that is an integral part of the cup"
without answering the question.
I have a cup sitting on my desk right now that is designed to
half a side missing. I like this cup. I think it is a scream. I
will take a picture of it if you say something remotely sensible
about this whole subject or adopt an attitude of wanting to,
learn about it instead of publicly parading your half-baked
schmuck ideas.
