To grasp the epistemological potential of design, means to look at it in detail. Design practices can only be described as epistemic practices in specific cases, never in general terms. This is because there is a wealth of specific, situational, constantly reinvented design practices that lead to insights, rather than one single design method that brings about cognition.
