I don't think there is a contradiction here. A contradiction is
seriously bad beast.

"Liquid design fits in (almost) any window size"
Fits is not in doubt. But fits and is nice or useful, this is
another story. Very fine in abstract. And I am speaking as
someone who almost never uses fixed. But it is quite a decision
in practice. Take your url example. I personally would not want
to see a lot of text that wide on my 20" screen. I can really
very easily understand how tempting it is to bypass all the
design thinking by making the whole damn show for some sites
800px wide and be done! Will look fine on all screens 800 or
more. Saves endless playing about, endless worry, endless
max-widthing and then worrying about IE, eming, floating or
positioning divs to take up useful space for other things and so
on...
