If He was a designer working for me I'd fire Him!

I find this kind of attitude to be quite common in young and inexperience engineers. They always seem to know the best way to make a product (and, it goes without saying, that the best way is not the way the product was manufactured). I will give you the same response I offer them - I will take your criticism seriously after you prove that you are capable of making some thing better.

No engineer knows the best way to make a product. Never has. Never will. There is no best way.

When better ways are found they open paths to even better ways.

It is possible, however, for even a high school dropout to recognise crap.

Touché. My patents are for much simpler products.

FWIW, I've only been an engineer for 30 years. Maybe with a few billion years practice...
