I think, as designers, we solve problems, and we use creativity and logic to solve those problems. We're not Jackson Pollock saying, I wanted to drip paint there because it felt right, no explanation needed. Graphic design is not art. It is finding a creative solution for a problem for a client, and if a client is paying you money to find a solution, he/she probably wants to hear why you made those choices and hopefully you have a good explanation.
p.s. Although I have to say, the end of the article with the "Ahm-peere" font cracked me up.
So I guess every once and awhile bullshit is necessary, especially with difficult clients.
