The fact that he found the site difficult to read (like everyone else), he attributed to the most likely cause of such experiences in the past, i.e. his color-blindness, rather than the fact that the design is just really hard to read.

That the design is so difficult to read is done mainly to make the form pop out by contrast. It's a cool effect, but there's no way i'd deploy that for mass consumption. It's a piece of artwork in it's current state (albeit a really cool one).
