I like the given definition of usability, but I wouldn't score the hamburger menu as the author did.
memorable: yes.
efficient and produces low errors: not relative to its predecessor on non-mobile devices. We've gone from seeking and clicking one target to two.
learnable: it could be, but people aren't trying to teach us the same thing. On some websites it means "navigation", on others it means "everything from the header". It may or may not contain account settings, it may or may not let you sign out. On ally.com it actually contains all available actions, with site navigation inexplicably hidden in a different, cog-icon menu. The net result is that I never have confidence that clicking a hamburger icon will give me what I'm looking for.
