Who started the debate over German toilet seat design?

Recently, Quora users posed the question: “Why is the design of German bathrooms different from the rest of the world?” The forum quickly filled with responses from users offering their theories as to why this was happening.
Many users joined to contribute their knowledge. One user told the entire scenario in simple terms. He mentioned that the part of the bowl that receives urine and excrement on German toilet seats is flat instead of conical. It is also located higher than the siphon hole.
Why is the design different from the rest of the world?
First of all, he highlighted the Western method, stating that the sooner the feces were soaked in water, the better, since this would prevent the spread of unpleasant odors.

The user went on to say that the German designers thought the original design was flawed. “Because the siphon hole was so low and vertical, there was a high risk of water splashing onto her butt every time she used the bathroom,” he wrote.
This was a great annoyance to our German friends. As a result, the flat bottom design significantly reduces the risk of splashing.”
How could the design be flawed?
“You could certainly argue that the flat-bottom design is also flawed, because it puts your feces on display, which you may not want to see every time you do the deed,” he added.
Surprisingly, the Germans have no objection to this.” For the Germans, an advantage of their design is that they can easily detect worm infestations and other digestive disorders by inspecting their droppings. For better understanding, the Germans believe in doing a mental analysis .note your morning poop, which some may find nauseating.
