Concerning #2: I would love to hear a discussion on why Caecilia is great, or not in this instance. Or why font __ is great, or not in this instance. Gruber

Concerning #2: I would love to hear a discussion on why Caecilia is great, or not in this instance. Or why font __ is great, or not in this instance. Gruber goes into that a little (which is insightful), however as most typography related discussions I see, it often comes down to "I prefer this or that and so don't like how they used this other one instead." But why? Do cases exist where it is strictly personal preference? In that case why bother pointing it out? Or is the actual reason not known? Or is it laziness?
Typography-tuned-people often claim there's a right way and wrong way, which is probably true. However it's fascinating to think that a vast majority of people aren't tuned into the existence of the subtleties, affected (true?), or care about most of the subtleties -- possibly because the actual impact it has is very very minimal. (Again, is it?)
