Not really sure why you're getting downvoted. I agree to some extent. I've always had a love-hate thing for Mr. Nielsen. I've come to terms with him in the regards of treating his philosophies as baseline rules. Kind of like overriding laws in the real world we are recommended to abide by. But as in real life, rules are meant to be broken when it makes sense, such as not crossing a street when you have a don't walk sign. That would be a law. But when you don't see a car for miles around, it just doesn't make sense to abide this law. Jakob spells out these simple laws, but there will always be occasions where you say, well in this instance, it doesn't make sense, because of so-and-so. And that's where it will make sense to get creative and deviate.
- dasil003 17y agoI probably got downvoted because people thought the last part of my comment was unnecessary. If that's the case then I'm willing to take my lumps without regret. My experience as a web designer for 15 years and being thoroughly unimpressed with Nielsen during the entire tenure of useit.com certainly will have a tendency to come out a bit sideways from time to time.
