Humor aside. I would like to explain why I add the above line to our 
job postings.

(1) I have found that interaction designers, IA's, and our ilk who have 
an understanding of grid structures and the basics of typography create 
flows, diagrams, and wireframes which better communicate their 
intention and lack "chart junk". Brockman is most famous for his "Grid 
Systems in Graphic Design: A visual communication manual"

(2) At Method we must work closely with the visual design team.. this 
team is, how do I say, very grounded in the heritage of Swiss and 
German typography and design. To work best with them, we need to speak 
a similar language and hold a similar modernist design philosophy.

While abstract, the simple J. Muller Brockman comment  hints at the 
above job requirements, without being too heavy-handed.. although maybe 
it is better sometimes.. "just to say what you mean."

Cheers, Chad
