No, its not difficult for professors to pretend to understand that students have different skill sets, learning patterns, etc. Its the common trend lately to revere the complex, venerate the ignorance of absolutes. The jock shocks who attack multiculturalism, right to the door of the Presidency, God. Time was when a Scientist was an inspiration in simple. Now many professionals treat outsiders with "its too complex for you to understand", I was taught that was a sign of laziness and/or bureaucracy, a road sign of what to expect ahead, that you have no rights power workers ahead. As governments have turned acts of citizens into a financial transaction for the good of globalization, while tenure has been dissolved for the bottom line, hell even charity has become 'work', everyone now is a worker. Who says USSR lost! Big government now invades our lives, news speak routinely makes out to be a good citizen you must be a tool for the rich elite. Design, like art, is about free expression, love. When you're paid for love then you become a prostitute to the customers whim. You want good design pay researchers for the love of their subject, measure them not on the number of papers but on their peers respect for the elegance and delivery of the underlying ideas. Segregate and separate the researchers from the experts by a well regarded teaching layer. The push for the almighty dollar and 'better' utilize academics is one on the many features of our big government socialist capitalist experiment. Why no Einsteins? No great cogs that quickly transition us from one global paradigm to the next. Simple, bureaucrats taking more power to the central archive (alla 1984).
