    A Van Der Graaf canon is not a grid.
    A grid is confining and limited by its nature. Thats why its called a grid and thats why you line shit up to it, so you can pull some order out of the infinite.
    A grid is not appropriate for all design situations.

    Things like that... Don't get me wrong, the Webdesigner Depot clearly has no idea what hes talking about (even the example of a website that doesn't use a grid has a grid...), but whereas that article says "use grids sometimes," the AisleOne article says "use grids all the time" and I'm sorry but that's just totally false. There are millions and millions of examples of successful design that don't use grids at all.
