 Your challenge is futile. An example was given about grids expressed in 
pixels. GJim said that percentages were used. That is the context.

When I said "you can translate from px sizing to percentages” grids is the 
context for that claim (Specifically the example used). You’re trying the silly 
exercise to take that sentence out of that context, to imply I meant it in 
general terms. A child could understand that was not the case.

Consider context, not only when translating pixel-expressed designs, but also 
when reading this list.
