The intelligent world does not agree with your idiotic assessment.

If one performs an Internet search for any advanced math or science
topic one will discover that the majority of informational web pages
are distributed as PDF file links.  These smart people don't want
to deal with bullshit HTML.

PDF can be viewed on *any* viewport and can be scaled to billboard
proportions.  The same applies to other document formats such as
ODF, DejaVu, or PostScript.

Thus, my idea is already WIDELY PRACTICED, and no technically
competent person would ever consider your asinine claims.

Again, for the sake of a bumbling idiot like you, I will stress
that this idea applies to INFORMATIONAL websites.  Other types
of websites may benefit from that ridiculous HTML circus.
