Sure... but I wouldn't trust a single one of us to actually be able to identify design "demanded from corporate" versus design that was made by the D&D team. So using the term "lazy" in a post is just lazy in itself.You can call design demanded from corporate that lacks rigor " lazy", but you're right, that's hardly the designer's fault.
If any of us are intelligent players and would-be designers, then take the time to actually explain both what we know the designers were trying to do based upon the design motifs they were aiming for... and why we think they did not succeed in what they were trying to do, or why there were better choices to be made instead and why our idea would have worked better.
