I've never understood the 'for humans' bit, though I see it all the time.
Is it a backhanded insult? Ie is the tacit point that design which doesn't follow whatever guidelines is therefore not built 'for humans'?'

My day job collects data from some sensors and uploads it to another computer. This computer-computer interface is not for humans, even engineers have trouble understanding it, but the computer does fine.
Both of the above cases are a design that is not for humans, and the engineers behind either have no need to consider design for humans.
