He didn't say otherwise. In the "real world", as you put it, I see plenty of people recommending ugly sites with good content. I see absolutely no people recommending pretty sites with poor content. "What you offer" is a mighty large percentage of how successful you are, even more so than "how it looks" (unless you are an artist or something, in which case the two are inextricably linked). -- Jim Dabell
