If all designers have to follow Jakob Nielsen's usability rules, then all of the other arts should have their own "safety police." It's best to follow their example because it's what people are used to.
For example:
All saxaphonists should sound like Kenny G.
All singers should sound like Celine Dion.
All talk show hosts should follow Jay Leno's example.
All actors would act like Tom Hanks.
All pianists would sound like John Tesh.I understand that there are some guidlines to follow, but if Jakob had his way, the web would be nothing more than a phone book. Try new things, make mistakes, screw the experts.
