I didn't say you did. I think banging on your bare fingers with a hammer is
just dumb too, but that doesn't say much about a hammer. Just because one
favors prototypes why would anyone immediately assume "skipping all the
other steps and going straight to high-fidelity prototyping"? That's why I
used the term "under fabricated conditions" above.

But since you say "Prototyping = good" I'll end with that :-)
