the "perfect design" yardstick
In Perfect design? Beth informs us of a book attempting to explain why there is no perfect design.
I would be interested to see what methodology the author has applied to explain the 'impossibility' of perfect design. Certainly, the actor-network methodology is a very good candidate to explain this, as it provides the necessary framework and theoretical background to explain the interplay between various actors (humans and things) and how they affect each other.
However, a simplistic explanation might be that since there is no yardstick to measure the 'perfect' of something, it is even pointless to assume perfectness. Rather, we are talking of things feasible and practical.
