In this case functionality does not dictate that the default fonts look bad. It is possible, and preferred, to have good form and function at the same time.
You seem to have lost track of the argument. It moved from "should we
stop having helvetica as the preferred font?" (to which everyone seems
to agree the answer is "yes") to "what should we replace it with?", with
some arguing for a specific font - verdana or arial or whatever -
followed by sans-serif, with others arguing for the generic alias first,
followed by the specific font name.
Try looking at the timestamps of the messages before making assumptions about my grasp of the conversation. You'll find that you're about 5 hours too late to make that statement.
