You say that “I’m not really sure what he means by the sentence you quoted above.” You’re looking at this from a design standpoint, when it was quoted not for what he said about design, but what he said about the designer.

What does “focus intolerant” mean when it comes to web template design? Can he clearly define that terminology, then make his case by comparing designs that he thinks are focus tolerant, to those that he deems focus intolerant?

Let’s agree to disagree — constructively. In this case, a number of statements were destructive and so went the friendship. Beyond that, I can learn nothing else from what was presented.
