Quote by Yukihiro Matsumoto

I believe consistency and orthogonality are tools of design, not the primary goal in design.

I believe consistency and orthogonality are tools of design,

Summary

This quote suggests that while consistency and orthogonality (meaning a system that includes mutually independent parts) are important aspects of design, they should not be the ultimate objectives. Instead, they should be viewed as tools that designers can utilize to create effective and harmonious designs. The primary goal of design should be to prioritize factors such as functionality, aesthetic appeal, usability, and meeting user needs, while consistency and orthogonality serve as means to achieve these goals. In other words, they are important principles in the design process, but not the ultimate measures of design success.

It's all part of the suffocating spin cycle we're in. In media, politics and publishing, the conventional wisdom is to play to this base.
