Premeditation is the enemy of tension. Predictability is the enemy of seeing. Design as a prescriptive method diminishes the tension between ourselves and the objects of our perception, and thus our ability to see them for ourselves. More critically, it diminishes our capacity to perceive what is there but not seen, exemplified by our perception of space itself.
