This doesn't feel at all like IBM.

It feels like a modern design team trying to fit in, not realizing they work at IBM.

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.

personally i feel that your mission statement could benefit from some bespoke, artisanal, hand crafted attention to locally sourced details, which would enhance the user experience. for over five years.

Net-net, we need to boldly strategize a new mission statement, bringing to the table our best and brightest outside-the-box thinkers. Let's set up a series of weekly meetings to best discuss how to monetize the paradigm.

Serious question: does anyone have anything resembling an idea as to what the hell the linked page is talking about?

This is like the complete opposite of creativity. I actually feel a bit sick..

Why? This is pretty standard design guidelines. Create a typography hierarchy, design mobile interfaces with enough space for fingers... etc.

If anything, I'd say these guidelines are too generic. Not specific.

Clearly, you know nothing about design. This design language looks pretty solid to me, and is much nicer (IMO) than Google's gee-whiz Material language.
