I don't really buy anything this article is selling. From the loose understanding of the word Abstract (real design problems are commonly found through abstraction of a specific situation to a broader set of issues – this is a real technique). A series with the title Abstract shouldn't be about lower-level process. That's an absurd assertion.
Sure they could have toned down the idolization of the designers, focused more on the process (the Paula Scher meeting insight was terrific) and all sorts of others ideas. But that's subjectively splitting hairs. For an inaugural season it was definitely well met.
