This is half true; you still can't achieve exact output even with CSS (try viewing even very large sites with FF vs Chrome, they won't be identical to the pixel). Media queries also let you adapt to devices/monitors, but realistically you can only cover the largest 5 or six cases. At some point you're going to get user who's on some crazy screen resolution with a sideways monitor, or a strange tablet, and you'll have to sacrifice total control. 'Nature of the beast.

Total control is an optical illusion. Even with books you'll have printing defects, bad lighting in readers room, coffee cup rounds, and so on. A solid design is the one that can survive in worst environment. It do not have to be pretty, pretty is optional and often not really desirable (Mona Lisa is not pretty is she?)
