So which is it... the number of users who do or don't doesn't have
anything to do with it, or because it involves a "subatomic sized
minority of users" when it comes to user stylesheets,
suddenly the number of users involved does matter?
The contexts are very different. Today's statement explains why the
existence of user stylesheets as support for the proposition that
users
have the power to override author styles is specious. Last week's is
about the tyranny of the majority, the typical author assertion that
because most users can't or won't or otherwise don't customize somehow
makes it OK to show no respect for those that do.
There's nothing specious about stating that the option is available
for users to override author stylesheets if they do in fact wish to
do so. They have the option to, in just about any browser. Is there
anything untrue about users having that option and authority to
personalize the settings on their *personal* computer just the way
they want, and override or disable author stylesheets?
The same stands true for overriding user defaults for the majority of
users, because *they don't know about or care about changing the
defaults*. If it's so absolutely important, they can learn - the
same way people learn to buy a magnifying glass at the store if they
need to see anything else larger than it is.
