He is probably talking about super obvious design mistakes like Chinese dynasty button in the middle of the screen blocking vision and no council member telling devs about this.
Because if you did and your feedback was rejected, what was their reasoning for their rejection? “We are going to leave the button there because ???”
There is no way even simple stuff like this was mentioned, since they would have had no reason not to listen to such obvious feedback.
So yes, I get it, devs are incredibly out of touch not to realise issues like these. But the council?
