Yes, there is a ton of "violent agreement" in this conversation about many things.
I think that "magic" has a few metaphors in it. * being able to do that which can't be done by others. * doing something that can't be explained * invoking a feeling of being under a spell I think for me it is a pinch of the 2nd and a whole lot of the 3rd. Once you say its "subjective" or worse, has an element of "intuition" then you are talking about the unexplained. It means I can't tell you why I turned left vs. right, or left and 3/4s. This is what I mean. While design education hones intuition against a backdrop of critique. That system of critique has little meaning to the other stakeholders. An opportunity maybe? If I looked at 2 bottles of shampoo and told you 1 was feminine and the other masculine, tell me which is which. You might be able to get it right, but maybe not. At some levels the distinction are arbitrary and subjective. In fact, you might even get 2 different answers from 2 different designers depending on how they were exposed to critique. So I think we disagree is that I embrace my mudblood ancestry (muggles are the scientists and wizards are the artists).
