Thank you! P.S. (to the editor) The blockquotes in this article are crying out for more leading. Frankly, it's painful. 4-5 px would make a world of difference. Thanks again.

P.S. (to the editor)
The blockquotes in this article are crying out for more leading. Frankly, it’s painful.
4-5 px would make a world of difference.

Thanks again.

The premise of the debate: The firm, in all its buzz-word glory, touted intuitive and innovative in the same sentence. To this day, the thought makes me cringe. In my book, if it's intuitive...it's not new. 'Nuff said. What an interesting find…it reminds me of a debate I prompted with an associate at a large design firm pitching to my employer.

Anthropologists would tell you that there are other ways.) In other words, interfaces aren’t ‘intuitive’, they’re ‘intuited’: before that, there’s nothing ‘intuitive’ about them at all.
