Several years ago, I pointed out to a couple of UI designers that their design didn't take Fitts' Law into account. They looked at me like I was speaking ancient Sumerian. They had never heard of Fitts' Law, and they were supposedly degreed/credentialed/whatever UI designers. I was only a lowly software developer (albeit with a specialization in implmenting UI), and I knew what it was. I think it's only gotten worse.
