Yes Jana, I'm singing a different toon/tune now. Of course, there are some things that shouldn't be designed at all unless there's a process to support them. DFM/CE, and ISO's section 7.3, speaks to evolutionary designs and processes as the preferred way to go. That means, as above, revolutionary designs and processes require breakthroughs not currently available. You can envision the rest.
