As a thought technology…
In a world where all skill is commodified, all that matters is taste.
Product is the ultimate arbiter of taste because it focuses capital on what is created. Design is on the next rung down, because it applies taste to how something looks and works, but is bound to the taste of Product on what can be funded. Engineering is the lowest rung because it does not apply taste: it is a means-to-an-end, reactive, and the executor of taste as defined by Product and Design.
