But there is as well as the "nice little statement" plenty of actual
evidence that frames are a bad solution to a problem and that CSS with
html can do it better. I, alas, have to maintain a frame based intranet
and I curse them nearly every day.

"Evil?" that's an over simplification. "Failed solution that doesn't
work wheras other better solutions are available", that's a pretty much
established fact.
