I loved "Tools for thought: science, design, art, craftsmanship?". The one aspect of it (not core to your message) that I reacted to without total agreement is the distinction I think you're making between science and design. 1/4

I think what you're calling design (to differentiate from science) is more like insight. Insight is a part of science, too, and critical to formulating many truly impactful hypotheses and experiments. 2/4

Design feels like a perfect composite of art, science, and craftsmanship, held together by ritual and best practices. It feels as though you're differentiating design from science by pointing out the aspects of it that are art & craftsmanship (+ insight). 3/4

Put another way, not rigorously
design ≔ science ∪ art ∪ craftsmanship
insight ⊆ science (and also of art!)
