-Ah, here's another one:
-"The fastest, most time efficient way of performing
-a -task equals the 
-best, 
-most usable way."

Also regarding above  rule:

Most time efficient way may not be the most usable if
usable is :
A.  defined as providing the best user experience 
and 
B.  the culture defining "best user experience" thinks
the journey is better than the destination.

Very important when designing for multicultural or
global sites that are not simply about getting people
to buy something within one click.

-Not true, because it doesn't take into account things
-like motivation. 
-The 
-slower but more motivating way can be better,
-because -at least people 
-will 
-be motivated enough to finish it, and hell, maybe
-----even enjoy it.
