I disagree. Here are the 7 points:
1. Spacing
2. Pixel Perfect Detail
3. Well thought out Typography
4. Organization of Elements
5. Restraint and Subtlety
6. Using Color to its Full Potential
7. Doing something Nobody else has done
Considering the content of each of the points, I would argue that at worst only 2 and 7 focus on form over function. If you're a person that has a hard time telling if a design is good or not this is a great list.
Also, design must start somewhere. You cannot A/B test starting from a blank page.

- RossM 18y agoNot that a big button isn't always out of place. I do think that the elegant details applied to a relatively simple design can help bring the quality of the design up. Simple touches help make a simple design a pleasure to use.
- potatolicious 18y agoIt also sets ambience and establishes your brand image subconsciously. You wouldn't try serving $50 steaks in a run-down diner, so why would you try to sell an upscale product on a site with no attention to detail?
