You are defending the design from the designer's point of view, not from the customer's point of view.

Now we have cars that don't need it and in fact prefer not to have it. -- Tom Reingold IT Guy looking for opportunities in NJ or NYC to enhance your business http://whatexit.org/~tommy/resume-func-tlr.html
