Hmmm - the problem is that there often multiple "correct" designs. That 
is, none can be proved to be "incorrect" in every context.  The notion 
of "correctness" is context sensitive.  One person might define having 
an empty state as "incorrect" while another might have another 
definition.  The problem here isn't making a "correct" design, it's 
agreeing on what is "correct"
