My point of view...

We know processes and manufactory machines primary determine the "design intent".
Knowing the process and the product turn you in an expert predicting where the changes will be.
If you are a Same-Always-Product-Process-Designer, no problem, you are into your comfort area and you will be the expert guy with no more challenges.
(From here already heard that ridiculous).
 
But in the real world, you don´t know all customer-suppliers processes.
Also you don´t know (preview) what the customer, engineers, marketing or your boss will change in your product design.
 
And here is where the joke is, you must be a kind of... WIZARD to predict and prepare ALL your designs to futures changes.
 
Parametric is excellent where the "What if" are "Always" the same.
But, What about the "Never", where engineering changes are not what you expected?

Direct Design turn you from a clown with a crystal ball, in a normal design engineer that solves instantly problems that nobody even imagined.
