If design truly mattered inside most organisations, nobody would be asking whether software was about to replace it. Nobody worries that spreadsheets will replace pilots or that judges are one software update away from being substituted by flowcharts.
We instinctively understand that professions which own judgement are insulated from improvements in tooling. Better instruments do not threaten the surgeon; they extend the surgeon's abilities. Better navigation systems do not threaten the pilot; they increase the pilot's range. The professions that become anxious when new tools arrive are usually those whose authority has already been quietly transferred elsewhere.
