For designers, all you need to do is look at the google logo. That's the epitome of skill in design. It's trivial to come up with a multi colored word and have it fit in a sort of clean aesthetic.

For PMs it's much more harder to prove it to you. So I won't go about this useless endeavor. Suffice to say it's not really automatically "absurd". It's more likely you have some sort of identity and connection with being a PM and you're proud of that identity and your attack here is a defense.

If you truly were disagreeing with me in an unbiased way, you wouldn't just call it "absurd".

I’d love to see some of your design work.
Yeah that’s a trap. Because design is so opinion based if I put anything out here you can call it utter crap and say it’s proof on how I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Anything said about design can’t be proven simply because it’s an aesthetic opinion. However we do have common opinions on what looks good and what doesn’t look good but the kind of study to prove that is unreadable on HN.
