No, please, no.

As an outsider, I think a key point is that this concept only makes sense in context with game-industry conventions. They (From my dive in just now) divide environment-creation into level design, environmental art, and other fields. The people who do one specialize in it, and don't have expertise in the others. Gaining experience in both, or working on both might be a taboo (?).

Another point is that the level design field is driven by superstitions, word-of-mouth, copying existing patterns etc, and is subjective. This is true about many arts, I highlight it here as context for the article. One of the author's points is that one-size-fits-all design patterns don't make sense for all cases.

I personally found the fallout 4 vaults really confusing and annoying and got lost easily, compared to Fallout 3/NV. Or even games like Deus Ex.

Fallout 4 felt like a terrible example of dungeon design. They were either linear and boring, or a weird layout where everything looked the same.

I'm usually pretty good at mapping game layouts in my head too, picking up FPS maps, etc. quickly.

Aside from that, I also feel like he misses than irl with a chaotic design we have a lot of signs. A lot! But people don't really use them in games as it's easy for players to miss thinking it's just decorative, and you've only got a certain amount of screen real estate when looking at a monitor, nor can you glance like you can irl.
