in the most fundamental way - you operate a web page by looking at it. I highly disagree with this. The most fundamental aspect of web design is that style is a layer that can be disabled, and that content is accessible to all, even if their access method is different from the norm (for example a screen reader presenting the information as an aural experience to the user).

Screen readers are an exception, 99.9% of use (probably more) will be through looking at the page. > that style is a layer that can be disabled It cannot be disabled, only changed. By "removing" the author's style you are replacing it with the default style sheet included in your browser, if you remove the default style sheet you are using the default values for all the css properties built into the rendering engine of your browser when it was compiled. Even if you put the source code in your text editor instead, you are now using your editor and terminal styles instead. My point is: in order to view text - it must be rendered, if it is rendered - it has a style, this is why the visually element is also a functional one, you cannot escape that unless you read text without your eyes.
