He presents an item - the AK47 - as an example of DESIGN. From that point alone should the discussions and debates be based. Is that item (removing the emotive label) a good example of good design. Given it has become the most widely used type of item in its class, copied, upgraded and ultimately fulfilling the design need that it was created for then it is an example of good design.<br /><br />Either people didn't listen well or the way it was presented was unclear. I suspect thought that the emotional label of 'gun' clogged a few listeners ears.<br /><br />Interesting story.<br /><br />Stephen<br />www.edenchanges.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
