You're suggesting that "mister visual UX dudes" (like me, for example) don't take complexity of implementation into account when making design decisions. We do. It's part of the process. Note that he said to send the designer the e-mail, not the developer. The designer on a project should always know where the current UX problems in the product are, even if they are too expensive to fix at the time.

Then I applaud you for having awareness of issues outside your immediate domain. I know quite a few UX people who know nothing about implementation and think everything is easy to do.

I don't even think it takes knowledge of implementation, just respect for it. I've had engineers ask me to fix certain design problems that would take weeks of prototyping and user testing to actually nail down in a meaningful way. Good devs appreciate the difficulty and we find a solution that fits the schedule, bad devs think design is easy to do. It runs both ways. Let's avoid making needless blanket statements and concentrate on working together.
