You're right, for the most part they should play no role. It's been so long
since I've worked with justified type for print that I didn't remember
clearly all the preferences and tradeoffs I used to experiment with. On the
other hand, I seem to recall some printed newspapers with narrow columns
using obvious tracking as part of their justification routines, resulting
in rather ugly type.

I'm still curious why Terminal uses justified type for man pages, and why
somebody would want justified type in a plain-text file.
