Fashion vs. Convention

This is a good article, and in a similar vein to what will be published in A List Apart, but one thing really stuck me as ‘whoa!’
I really object to Mr. Forkan’s lumping splash screens of and left hand navigation systems together as some design fashion.
Though the former may be a passing fad, the latter is a fashion in the same sense that a car having it’s gas pedal on the left and the brake pedal in the middle. Sure, the car designer can change it, but they better have a damn good reason for it.
