It sounds for all the world that he himself has not become particularly effective as a self-proclaimed member of his own nebulous definition of a design community. What the article fails to address that upon achieving the status of member of a DC, one's outlook is not defined purely by the ethos of that community. What can be thought of as a wider view is narrowed upon graduation into the dc only by the fact that the commonalities between the members are learned and communication between them is focussed. Each community has a unique and particularly restricted lexicon and analytical process; QBN processes and lauds a distinct novelty that do other DC, whose names cannot even be spoken in hushed tones here.
I assert that the author is projecting his frustrations at his academic colleagues with whom he shares only a limited number of interests, and who all talk shop when they drag themselves to one another's blandly decorated city-center apartments twice a month.
