>You could have used the time to type up that comment on the basics of visual design, and saved us all some sanity.

For hundreds of years humans have got it wrong. The basics of visual design are made up qualitative guidelines with no solid metrics to back it up. Just a bunch of arbitrary rules with legit sounding words and rules to dress it up as a science.

Take for example the primary colors. RYB. Completely ass wrong for hundreds of years. Our eyes achieve color ranges by mixing RGB. RYB is an arbitrary choice.

You've been drinking the koolaid.

> There are absolutely things that do not work well

Did I say there wasn't? What are you going off about here?

>So no, it isnt your eye. And you dont need to see an eye doctor. The person/team/company that designed it fell short of the mark.

So you're saying Apple really fucked their entire company over with liquid glass? Really? Let's be real. People can't use their phones anymore because the GUI is so terrible? It's so bad everyone is going back to windows and android?

Wake up man. It's a band wagon and you're getting on it; destination: Not reality.

I dont know what you're trying to say. Are you saying Apple alone is enlightened enough to know what's good and what's not? And every body else is winging it?

Nope. I'm saying everybody is winging it. Nobody knows what they are talking about. Including apple and you.

The only people who know what they are talking about are the people saying that nobody knows what they are talking about.
