Instead of leaving a simple comment I would like to share my authentic and thoughtful comment brand which communicates my living perspective and collection of crafted experiences working together as a cohesive language of positive reflection in the inverse context.

Positive reflection in the inverse... Hey!

I like their replacement for Lorem Ipsum:

Be authentically thoughtful

Authenticity is based on real, shared experiences and is sensed rather than rationalized. Thoughtfulness is a quality that comes from the heart with the best of intentions in mind. It is the deliberate consideration for the needs of others and an empathic understanding of what is most important.

Unity, not uniformity

By giving people a common starting place—and the freedom to innovate and experiment—we allow them to recombine ideas and build specifically relevant solutions, while staying connected to that common center point.

I find it interesting that even going to the main homepage at http://ibm.com shows that these guidelines haven't made it very far internally. I'd have thought they would have established their own brand at home before releasing guidelines.

You could have said roughly the same about most of Google's products when they released Material Design.

As a design language/guide/framework etc, I've spent 5 minutes on that link clicking around and I still don't really know what I'm looking at.

I'd say it's IBM's response to Google material design. IBM blog announcement: http://www.ibm.com/design/blog-page.shtml?ibm-design-languag...

This is exactly what I thought.

IBM has great products and the design of this website is nice but the content does the design a disservice. The design expresses "clarity and simplicity" while the text expresses "vagueness and complexity".
