It was at the end of his post, he didn't have time to "start"
arguing "against it". The point of the business cards story was
to say that it would be nice for web authors to have have some
extra weaponry in font choices. It may have been exaggerated a
little for simplicity and to counter the equal exaggerations of
some others here. Mantra minded people love to chant, there are
similarities as well as differences between paper and web. It
would be handy for authors not to be forced to use images of text
every time they make judicious use of logos and other relevant
stylistic touches.
