      12/ Engineers SHOULD NOT have the final word on what gets built, because the "best product" (a) is not one thing, for one customer, but an array of things for various customers (b) consists of a tuple of price / reliability / maintenance cost / etchttps://twitter.com/Wfflthebffl/status/1349766486852841473 …

      While I'm sure it's not as common as people think it is, there are definitely things that would fit somewhere into this category because unfortunately engineers who want to make the best product don't get the final say on what is actually built.

      13/ It is false / incorrect to say that a car that lasts 20 years is flat out better than a car that lasts 10 years. What are the trade offs? Higher cost? Worse maneuverability? Higher maintenance? Different customers want different things. >>>

      14/ This is not a question that engineers can or should solve. Marketing is a sophisticated field, and is NOT just writing ad copy. Marketing involves (a) doing research on what customers want, (b) narrowing down various things that a firm COULD deliver to the things it SHOULD

      15/ Let's say that there's a market for beverage pitchers The market is complex - some people want bulletproof, price-no-object. Others want stylish, and will discard and repurchase every year. Others are poor and want cheap and durable. College students want cheap / stylish

      16/ Every one of these is a potential product. What should our firm, firm X, produce? Firm X must look at it's existing engineers, it's existing product designers, it's existing mfgr facilities and equipment, it's existing sales channels, and then pick 1 or more.

      17/ "your claim is false, but I have no evidence proving it false ; I misused a term, and now you have to come up with a better term" no this type of argument bores mehttps://twitter.com/Wfflthebffl/status/1349767404637872129 …

      That seems like a ridiculous claim, it's probably rarer than people think but you're effectively claiming perverse incentives and monopolies don't exist. Irrelevant regardless, people THINK it exists so we need a word to identify and distinguish the misconception.

      18/ markets are n-dimensional, and to use the word "best" implies single dimensionality ; like someone who tells me that he's trying to get a touchdown in chess, it just clues me in that I should mute the topic / person https://twitter.com/GeoGDF01/status/1349767711535017984 …

      19/ RT <locked> I think you're being a tad unfair here. There definitely is a real thing people are thinking of. In a global economy, everything is now opaque sausage-making. Some people just want a valuable peek into those processes to make good decisions

      Maybe the people you're arguing with have different axioms. Would @AHelleneAuthor accept that allowing housewives more choices is a greater good than preserving finite resources or limiting our garbage footprint? Are these values in conflict?
