The Constraints of Design

This is, of course, utterly untrue and obvious nonsense. One obvious constraint is the budget. After that the actual requirements are a constraint that must be considered if the design is to be worth shit: Is the house for a family of 10 or 2? Is the exchange meant to handle 1,000 cars a day or 50,000? Is the kitchen in a large restaurant or a woodland cabin? This only starts to list the enormous number of constraints you were limited by.

So you designed a 20 lane interchange but implemented a 2 lane one; you designed a 5,000 sq ft kosher kitchen but implemented a 100 sq ft one; you designed a 1 story 1500 sq ft rancher but implemented a 4,000 sq ft 3 story home?It still smells like nonsense. And it is very, very rare that budget is not a constraint. It maybe that it is not the tightest constraint in which case it is not a "problem".If you design without considerations of constraints then I don't want to drive on your interchanges, use your kitchens or live in your houses.

That is, of course, also not true. The Higgs had to have certain properties to fit in the standard model.
