I don't think the implication was that there are specific rules that must be applied to futuristic fictional starships. It seems the poster simply disliked the proportions -- which is a valid opinion.

I can’t understand why people are complaining about the poor CGI as this is clearly just some test footage. We have to remember that they have not even started to film yet, let alone started to work on post production. Nearer the time they will add more layers of textures to the CGI model to make it look more realistic.
More like 19%, but yeah, the majority of people who took part in this survey don't seem to like the design. Although the reactions here seem to be more like 50/50.
I guess because a lot of people – me included – would rather not get any footage than this excuse of a teaser.
You're confusing consensus with objectivity. It's akin to saying that because a significant portion of the US population believes in angels, that means they're likely to be objectively real. Sorry, that's not how it works.
i love these kind of comments. the design of the ship is so awful and distracting and ugly that no sane person could like it. Discovery will forever ruin Star Trek. no one will ever watch the series and it will be a stain on the name of Trek.
please spare me the hyperbole.

I hated it at first, but after re-watching the test footage a few times it began to grow on me. I think I started to like it at around the 48th replay.
Exactly. That was Enterprise.
The more I think about it, I have to applaud the new team for taking this approach. They could have played it safe and given us a beautiful shiny new ship but would that really have been any different than any previous series? There's a reason Discovery looks like a mutt and not a purebred and I'm looking forward to her story. The challenge for the writers is to win over all of those bashing this ship, to create a storyline and tell it in such a manner that it will leave people speechless...in a good way! I bet a year from now, some of those calling this ship hideous will do a 180 and proclaim Discovery to be the best ship Trek has ever seen! Imagine it, wouldn't it be great to fall in love with Star Trek all over again? That's what I'm hoping for!
Looks fine to me. I'm ecstatic someone would take a chance on more Star Trek on TV for us. I even warmed to Enterprise after a period of time. Glad Star Trek is on the upswing again after the dark years of 2002-2004.

I love the idea that says "by God, I'm going to love this ship, even if it kills me."
Which Star Trek ships didn't look clumsy, improbable, and difficult to justify? The designs are preposterous and make no sense regardless of whether they look cool.
The ship has grown on me after re-watching the video. For the life of me, though, I'm unable to shake the feeling that there is some sort of misdirection going on here. To show footage of a ship that screams a certain time frame and then say they won't say what era it is set because they want to tease us makes me think something is up.
This is literally something thrown togeher for ComicCon. I'll reserve judgement for January.
Fully. However it's barely into view and you have to not be watching what's the center of the scene to even see it. This changes nothing of my point.
That is probably one of the most wrong things ever uttered, in any form, on any media, in the history of the universe.
Even if the entire population of the universe agrees with an opinion, it does not make it objective.
Looks terrible. Wont watch.
I wonder if Discovery could be a huge generational ship, one that was sent to another Galaxy as a sort of Noah's Ark to ensure that a portion of humanity survives? That's why it has an "industrial" look to it, it was built to survive for many years and maybe each season will have different crews as the originals die out and the children grow up and take over. Or maybe that's just a stupid idea, but one thing is for sure, it has to be something totally NEW. I don't see how any of the previous story lines can be made exciting again.
