It's as if someone would say: the web is a static place. I, THE DESIGNER
AM IN CONTROL! but this is such an outdated view. This is not only true
for the visual design but also for the navigational design: most of the
graphic designer can not embrace the reality of a non-linear
navigational structure. They always think in terms of a book: a user
will always start at the first page and navigate along a predefined
path(hence the many useless intro-pages).
