Can I politely suggest that you research someone before you make critiques like this.

Dieter Rams is one of the leading industrial designers of the world. His role in industrial design, particularly for consumer technology at Braun, is renown.

It wasn't "clickbait", this was an article on the website of the furniture company that has delivered his furniture designs since the 1960s.

But if you so freely dismiss that sometimes distilling design into understandable and actionable principles is actually a complicated and difficult task, you might want to consider that Euclid only had 5 axioms and 5 postulates [1].

From that, the entire Euclidean geometry and mathematics was derived. But I guess even ancient Greece had clickbait listicles.

Comparing this pablum to Euclid? You can't be serious!
