"How to Ruin a Great Design" Response

In the article "How to Ruin a Great Design" by Alice Rawsthorn, she goes over the simplicity of making one small change. Examples of these changes range from British traffic signs to McDonalds chairs. Basically, one small change creates a design version of the Butterfly Effect. Also, the author goes over cooperate "tactics" to show why these changes are made. Further down the article, she calls this a "crime against design." So for what I learned is that change is sometimes not necessary to an already great design. Most designers should take this article into consideration. No wants to commit a crime, so it is better to just follow the rules. To sum up, the article "How to Ruin a Great Design" by Alice Rawsthorn gave me useful insight to what should or should not be in a design.
