I just finished designing another board, a waveform generator, and I

that it was designed by an idiot."

What should I have replied to a statement like that?

Some guys really have to approach everything as a "get deep into it"
ab initio sort of start every single time. These sorts of guys can be
very thorough.

At the same time, there are others who will just unfold the schematic
and point here and there and ask some stupid questions and see the
overall purpose and many of the details right away. Yet will miss some
really obvious boners in design because they don't make an ab initio
sort of start.

In the perfect world, you get both kinds on your team. It sounds like
you've got at least one of the ab initio sort of guys. Personally I do
not fall into that category but I do realize their value and
usefulness.
