I hate (dislike?) people who give lessons in design. Because for me, design have no rules. No, any. So why would you say "design is like this or like that"?
I hate people say "this is good, this is awful" because it may be good or awful for YOU, with your own references, your own "culture", not necessarily for someone else.. Design is a VISUAL work that you can analyze with your own experience. Never forget that.
When I try to describe my work I always use MAYBE, naturally.

Because there is not ONE truth but many.

So... Maybe.
