C'mon guys face it USA is about showbusiness, Hollywood has own stars (read: CLOWNS) and web has a clown too, in Jakob Nielsen... so it's kind of entertaining. Though some of things he says are correct (but again things he says aren't purely invented by him), his total lack of vision, negligence to accept the change make him sound totally pathetic most of time. So, most of the people who really have been into web design for a long time think of Jacob Nielsen as idiot (which is true), but to the people that actually don't know about it he's a smart guy, the definitive guide to the web.
He plays "hated genius" role... uses a lot of stupid quotes (at times sounds like "murphy's laws") to make him sound more proffesional and convincible to the companies who pay for his mediocre consulting. And I really think he has some sort of anti-design complex since it really looks he enjoy the role. I think he's totally aware of stupidness he talks at times.
But anyway, the point is he is making a good money of selling shit... so actually he's smart.
