This is exactly his point! You think it should be correct usage because "CSS is too complicated." Great, good point, most of us would agree that CSS is too complicated. But that does not make it correct usage! It only means CSS is so complicated most people don't use it correctly. A majority of people misusing something doesn't make it correct.
I would have assumed with the level of pedantry that is standard on HN, more people would understand this. But I think in this case the power of fragile egos has overwhelmed pedantic instincts.
