Re: Re:I totally disagree with Jakob Nielsen

Dear all,

Conclusions made by statistics principles make the designers eventually
"copy" what others have already done "correctly". It is nice to have this
kind of studies, but it´s not enough. Heuristics are a kind of rule and, in
this case, rules may crop designers' creativity and capacity to bring other
innovative solutions to internet.

I totally disagree with Jakob Nielsen's speech.
