I think you and Richard missed my point, and as I've
been saying, I'm not limiting what others can do, but
describing their position in the architecture process.


I never insulted QAs or stated that they couldn't
contributed, but did point out that their role in
fixing bugs is remedial and not architectural. This is
a fundamental difference in practice between
design-level fixes and functional fixes.

I think what's happening here is that several people
perceived my comments as an attack on QAs, which they
were not, and decided to flame me as a result. I'm not
interested in the drama, and so my responses are less
than reassuring to you.
