hmm..?
> After all, it’s another case of copying the looks and the two reasons mentioned earlier apply here too. It still is time-consuming and distracts you from thinking about your user’s actions.
From a development perspective this may be true, but from a usability/UX perspective, this definitely isn't. It's not just about copying.
