The question this thread is asking is whether or not aesthetic should be utilised at all, not what the specific aesthetic should be.
I'm not just reacting to the OP, but also to what I saw in the comments, which is why I referred to "everybody."
The point I'm trying to make is that suits suck. If we're going to start having orgs require suits we might as well go all the way and require powdered wigs.
"The aesthetics should be tailored to the specific conditions," while true, also needlessly sidelines discussions of how they should be tailored to the current conditions, which would need to be resolved for this to matter. It doesn't do us any good if we all agree that the aesthetics should be tailored to the conditions if we disagree wildly on what they should be and who they should be appealing to and so on.
