I disagree with the author. Whenever I go on a trip abroad, upon my return I have always noticed new perspectives not only on home, neighborhood, town, but also country and culture. Likewise, whenever I see alternate designs of something familiar, be it the layout of a city, or a more efficient suburb, or a website, or a magazine, it provides new perspective into the existing design. The alternate design might suck, or be lacking in some ways, but it always helps view the old design with fresh eyes. So there is value. On rare occasions, the proposed alternative design is better. So it's win-win in my book, and this author needs to lighten up a bit.
