Absolutely. They should be forced to use/live in/wear their creations.

I did try it with the Rohan (outdoor clothes) designer who was visiting Durham last year. They showed interest, then left everything as it is.
Somewhere around 25 years ago the then chief designer could not understand why I was complaining about a pair of trousers they had advertised with a pocket to hold an Ordnance Survey map. An OS map is approximately 24cm long as sold; the pocket was at most 18cm long. "It fits if you fold the map in half", said the designer!

There is a LONG list of issues with the XC60.
