Repeating ad nauseum that technology will save the day doesn't change the fact that technology isn't magic; and that some problems are not machine-solvable, unless the machine is an artificial human mind that can match or surpass a reasonably highly functioning biological one.
You are wrong, and your assumptions come from having insufficient understanding of the subject matter you are discussing. Knowing one's limitations is a virtue.
If you are not both a programmer and a typographer of some half-decent level of expertise, you are as likely to be correct in your assumptions about these issues as an English major is about the finer details of orbital interactions.
What is it that makes people assume their opinions are necessarily insightful and authoritative on what are essentially computer science and typography expert-issues, just because they like reading books and can throw together HTML documents?
