On the subject of Calibre doing a better job than Kindle Previewer of creating a Kindle book file, isn't that rather like saying that the Rolex being sold at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel is better than the one from Switzerland? I don't use KP, as it happens; I upload to the KDP and let it convert there. But of twenty-six books, I've never had a validated epub fail to convert as expected. (Well, once or twice I did get a double cover.) I use Flight Crew in Sigil, and when the cake is baked, I run it through epubcheck online.

Of course it works--IF your entire html file is a single "page." In other words, if you tried this in a typical chapter, it would never work, as the "top" and bottom and middle/center of the file would be quite a bit different than the desired result.
Plus, it would crash and burn in KF7, and possibly in some other cases. So, "works" is a relative term.
That's why nobody ever says it works--because 99% of the hearers would get it wrong, thinking you could do it, for example, on a new-chapter page.
