Absolutely! I wasn't implying otherwise. I think in the U.S. the inertia of both design and life choices is more of the problem -- I think convenience captures both of these issues in their present state. I use convenience here not to suggest actual convenience, but the appearance of convenience, much in the way that it's not really control, but the appearance of control that makes us register the preferability of the personal car.
