Well, true. But all scenarios should be solvable via specificity alone.

I feel this is similar to saying there's absolutely nothing wrong with Goto if used correctly. The problem is when people use Goto because they don't understand other structural mechanisms.

As I said, it's just a nit that they can consider it or ignore it as they please. If this were just some web page, I would never even care. But since they encouraged me to open my DOM inspector and look at the code, I wanted them to know that I cringed when I saw the !important. That's it.
