Rotely following the HIG (rotely following any guidelines) because
they are guidelines, instead of working to fix underlying problems, is
the height of idiocy. Or laziness. Or both.

Luis (thinking maybe the HIG should have a note: 'If your software
used to be fast enough for 'OK', and now it isn't, you should get out
the profiler and fix the performance instead of getting out glade.' Or
maybe the first page of the HIG should say, in bold print, 'Fix the
problem, not the symptom.' I'd say it should say 'don't be an idiot'
but maybe that isn't clear enough.)
