It's also not currently true. Some of the most useful settings in
Settings are under the (i) links, for example. This is madness, they
should only ever be 'tooltips' style info not access to another deeper
panel of settings.

The Apple Style Guide as it was in the mid 2000s is long, long dead and
they just make shit up now.

And every time I go look at Windows, I'm still horrified that somehow
that is *even worse*
