Down with Nielsen

(who has a nice new redesign running on castro) wrote this about Jakob Nielsen:

"… Jakob Nielsen builds his entire persona as one of supremacy and omnipotent knowledge. Something I hate. Something I would like to see humbled. "

I definitly agree with a lot of Nielsen’s ideas, it’s just his “if you don’t do it my way, your site is shit” attitude that pisses me off. Rules are meant to be broken, but you can’t break them until you know them. And somehow, maybe it’s just me, but are users really THAT stupid that they can’t figure out a simple navigation scheme?
