A quote from the article:
Product cycle times are falling: In time for Father's Day this year, Lego
Direct, the catalog and Internet-sales division, produced the Sopwith Camel
biplane kit. The plane was designed in a single day, and the kit was
approved in something like two weeks.
I find it really hard to beleive that the Sopwith Camel was designed in one
day. Does anyone know if this is accurate? If it is, that makes the
Sopwith Camel even more impressive.

IIRC...
In the previous thread that discussed this (when it was just a Fast Company
article instead of a slashdotted phenom) it was stated by someone that it
wasn't designed in a day, it was approved in a day because someone (Brad?)
walking around spotted a MOC on a designer's workstation and said "that's
our Father's Day set... produce it!" (or words to that effect).
Inadmissable as evidence because it's hearsay about hearsay.... but *noone*
can produce a production ready model in a *day*. Not even me.
