Yes, Mark.
The beautiful thing about Andy's essay is that he finds a good starting place for people to start thinking about the art of display. Did you read the whole essay? It's very clear from Andy's questions at the end of the piece that he is not advocating a single formula, but rather he is challenging his readers to try out a certain way of thinking. His essay isn't the final word on display, it just a very shallow first dip into these artistic waters.
The challenge of traying to explain anything from the ground up is not just a matter of getting the details right, it's a matter of finding a starting point that allows you to move in a linear and directed manner into a complex and multidimensional subject. I applaud Andy for finding a clear and elegant way to make our first steps into this deep water seem far less frightening.
Best regards,
