That's good when you want to keep in mind retards, I keep retards in
mind on my primary site where I have a plain text fall back version,
HOWEVER, for those that aren't retarded, they understand that content
and design are VERY much interlinked and dependant on one another.

Please try and read this...if you aren't retarded:

WRONG!

Even for just a PLAIN TEXT SITE, Flash is VASTLY superior to HTML in a
whole variety of ways, from being able to embed fonts, to having
proper font anti-aliasing, to having true liquid sized text as opposed
to just liquid space stretched text.

Again, it's all about the designer, yes in the hands of an AMATEUR it
may not be possible to create a site like that and, yes, you amateurs
should stick to kiddie, training pants languages like HTML. Simply
put, Flash was NOT made for amateur web designers, it's made for
PROFESSIONALS and ARTISTS. It's the difference between oil paints and
Crayolas. You would NEVER give a three year old a box of oil paints,
Crayolas, yes, oil paints...no.
