that usability advice is given based on scientific studies and reports as
well as on user-interface standards in use today.
I think you need to read this one again:

I'm pretty sure it has been explained before somewhere..

Well; there is not much of a discussion since the thing you disagree upon
has been the whole reason why corporations and individuals like myself have
joined in the first place.
