Of course not however when someone goes to the effort of making such a nice looking site, it makes it look a bit off. Also, with sites that I use often, I like to remove the bookmark title so it is just the icon on my favourites bar, so no favicon does make a difference there. Looking back, my post made me look like a huge nit-picker but it was merely an attempt to help out the developer. I don't think it was deserving of a downvote :-(
