No my post stated that tagging a PDF document essentially creates two versions of the document

1) The untagged version. This is a "rendered" layout and will not reflow
2) The tagged version. This is a reflowable layout, but as a reflowable layout, it is inferior to dedicated reflowable layouts like HTML+CSS

You might as well think of a tagged PDF as a container for two versions of the document.
