Yeah, that's definitely a grid, but in order to design within a grid, the grid must exist first and consciously, otherwise its just something someone perceived later. Its like these things to show how art uses the golden section:
Yeah, its possible the artist used those lines there first to compose his painting, but way more likely that was naturally how he did it. He didn't use a grid, but one was perceived later to show order. I remember trying to analyze some of Jan Tschichold's (New Typography style) work for a grid and not being able to find one because he didn't use one. He just lined things up in a pleasing way. That to me does not constitute a grid. I think making information legible is making information legible regardless of how gridded out" it may be.
I don't think AisleOne are assholes at all, but I do think that in the same way the Webdesigner Depot has their narrow viewpoint, so does AisleOne, only theirs happens too be in the realm of the grid.
