I think that forum should be under the definition of internet. There are quite a few well written insightful posts but then there are these hideous troll and flame posts that make me want to close my browser so I don't get stupid from them.
The point being that 'design' without implementation is irrelevant. I could 'design' a flying car but if the theoretical is never tested in the practical sense then it's absolutely worthless. So no, you haven't really designed anything because your ideas exist outside of any practical context. Design is about the elegant achievement of a goal within environmental constraints. Your abstracts don't do this ergo they are not designs at all, they're theories at best.

This guy can go f*** himself. Has he been to a University before? All they teach are abstracts, most with barely any practical context. The point is that those abstracts let you look at things from a more dynamic context. It allows for creativity to fill in the gaps between theory and purpose.
A one page summary on a what something might do is as much design as the code running in the final product. Design is a process and not just a result. The philosophy behind a design is as intergral to success as the methods used to create a product. Look at how many scientific theories have sat unproven over the years before someone else had the resources to finally prove it?
I guess he didn't hear about the relic things in the DAoC expansion either.
