    In response to Can designers ever be humble?, posted by Arvind Lodaya,
    in the thread A lack of design knowledge

    I could not agree more with Arvind Lodaya's--and in turn Victor Papanek's--viewpoint.

    While it is important to sustain a degree of ego, especially in service to developing a singular style or "design personality" if you will, it is equally important to keep that ego in check.

    My phrase for it: "A good idea doesn't care who has it."
