Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that. The couple of things I can think of don't make sense to me.

What do you mean with both ways of doing it? Defending? Or something else?
As a more extreme example, there is an ereader app out there (whose name escapes me completely) that basically ignores the styles and lets the user set them. Some people think this is the best app out there for this reason. Some people think this is the worst app for exactly the same reason.

From the point of view of what the two renderers do on the Kobo, different people think more or less should be overridden. Should it just set justify at the body level and let all the tags within decide? Or should it override it at every level? I've seen arguments for both. And people choosing either epubs or kepubs because of it.

I have no idea what the correct answer is, unless all of them are as it is a personal opinion. But, I also don't really care. I'm not a fan of how the justification works, so I don't use it. And if edit the book for any reason, I will remove the justification, fonts (if I don't like them), any forced hyphenation and some margin settings from the body text classes. I try not to mess with things were I think this styling is important. If the book has a clear overall style, I try to maintain that. With the above exceptions.
