That's interesting, I'd never even thought about something like that. Thanks for responding with that information. Is this still something that gets taught? Or

That's interesting, I'd never even thought about something like that. Thanks for responding with that information. Is this still something that gets taught? Or do you think that these sites are being made by people who were taught that a number of years ago and haven't taken the time to learn how to interact with monitors in a post-retina/high-dpi world? Or has it become some kind of "cult" knowledge that gets repeated by people who aren't aware of the real reasoning behind why it was done back then? Also interesting to learn white-on-black eye strain is nonsense. Another comment mentioned that it probably looks better to have dark gray because true blacks are rare, is that accurate?
