Default No argument.

Because the original question came from someone in the beginning stages of web production I tried to keep it simple. Since technically it is possible to change properties such as color or text size within a table using css, it would have been better to suggest some other example of css's advantages for layout even if more complex to describe. There are many advantages from my viewpoint although there still are some issues, as you suggest.

In any case, you won't get me to argue with you about tech stuff. You're the expert there.

I think you will agree, however, that a new learner is better off to go with the updated standards, learning to use css for layout rather than tables, at least to start. Certainly, at a minimum it is helpful to understand the issue from the beginning rather than being told different things by different people without being able to put the pieces together.
