I’ll just finish by going through a few of the explicit
claims made in that article and correcting them:
[...]
2. The first sentence: “The “px” unit in CSS doesn’t really
have anything to do with screen pixels, despite the poorly
chosen name.” – this is obviously complete nonsense. The
standards authors went out of their way to give browser
authors a way to match the “px” unit up to the real-world
device pixel
> and all the physical units (inch, cm, pt) are defined in terms of the csspixel.
Not for print and other high-res devices (like a Retina display). Did you read this excerpt quoted from the CSS spec?
For print media and similar high-resolution devices, the
anchor unit should be one of the standard physical units
(inches, centimeters, etc). For lower-resolution devices,
and devices with unusual viewing distances, it is
recommended instead that the anchor unit be the pixel unit.
