Maybe Engineering disagrees internally with the HIG in some places.
That's natural. But until the HIG is actually changed, isn't it
Engineering's job to follow it to the letter?
Well, actually, no. It's not. Guidelines are not written to be
followed to the letter. They're intended to convey what should be a
standard gestalt of behavior and appearance unless there's a
compelling reason to deviate. It's been a while since I've read the
HIG but that distinction used to be made quite clearly in them. Apple
has been providing applications that fail to adhere to the HIG "to
the letter" since January 1984.
