This runs counter to the basic rule of life, art and writing: Constraint compels creativity. In fact, I've noticed a direct application of the rule to this subject. When I encounter a website filled with uncropped and unsized 3-megabyte BMP files, which could be displayed equally well as 20-kilobyte JPGs, I know without even looking that the site is in an .EDU domain. Academic folks have had "Hispeed" internet forever, and they tend to communicate mainly with other "Hispeed" users. So they never have to learn the benefits of organization and compactness in a website.
