On this particular point, I agree with him. As for Nielson himself, well I think he's an absolute twit. A master at stating the bleeding obvious and a man who's single-handedly managed to destroy corporate and big-industry web design by taking usability out of the hands of the people who know about it and putting it into the hands of suited wags who know f**k all about IA or interface design.
