"If you experiment to make it 'prettier' then it's a fail. Experiment to make it more functional." Such a simplistic point of view. Designers take inspiration

"If you experiment to make it 'prettier' then it's a fail. Experiment to make it more functional." Such a simplistic point of view. Designers take inspiration from other works. A beautiful piece of work doesn't have to be functional if it's largely just used to express ones creative outputs or to inspire others. Concept cars and fashion shows often do the same thing: help inspire others and influence upcoming styles. Saying that their experimental efforts are failures because it's not completely functional (a concept car that can't function, a wardrobe that few souls would wear, a website that has out of the ordinary behavior) is completely missing the point.
