OK! Agreed on product vs process. I still don't think "ivory tower" means the same thing to you as it does to me, so be it!

When I look up "ivory tower" on google, google's supplied dictionary definition is "a state of privileged seclusion or separation from the facts and practicalities of the real world." I don't think that's how you're using it though? Which confused me. But ok!




I’ve used “ivory tower” to denote closed off, non-collaborative architects that have enough power to do things “they’re way”.
