Makes sense upon first reading, but the more I think of it the stranger I find it.

A tech-savvy person ought to be more aware than a luddite that competent and knowledgeable people perform better in their own area of expertise than amateur enthusiasts do.

Why would then a tech-savvy person assume that they themselves can make better looking and more pleasant to read books than somebody with years or decades of bookmaking experience targeting their device? Because a unilateral declaration that tweaking is more important than professional typesetting is more or less that, the only way I can parse it.

Not that I think JSWolf or anyone else with that view really thinks this... which, again, is why I find it so strange.
