Which is what a beautician does.

In other words, once a "design by testing" advocate manages to frame the
central problem as one of the efficacy of visual arrangement, thereby
putting strategy, structure, architecture and (even selection of) content
beyond the purview of the designer, then, yes, we can quibble on the
fringes. Personally, I'm not interested in arguments where the designer's
role is framed as somehow orthogonal to usability. That's so last century.
