I'm not sure I am missing the point actually. As a class name, `.m-none` is pretty terrible, because it says what the thing looks like rather than what it does. I can't see how in practice this doesn't lead to a much greater mess, and even in the best case you would end up with

    .m-none.br-kinda-rounded.p-a-bit.bw-pretty-thicc.bc-old-mauve

The clever example in the article with using a loop to define values is not something I find particularly compelling either. The whole point with specifying relative values, e.g., percentages, ems, root ems, etc., is that they can change relative to an element they inherit from or from the root of the document.

Furthermore, using class names is not the only way to achieve the effect in the example you pulled from the article. Sass (and just about any CSS superset from the past decade) can achieve the same with mixins, which would spare the resulting document from all the selector noise.
