I don't even know where to start with this. The idea of using sed or awk instead of the DOM is ridiculous in both theory and practice.

All I'm saying is how things are in reality is more important than how things are in theory. I'm curious if you can find an instance where that's not true, but regardless it's a good rule of thumb.

How things are in practice matters, but there's risk that you're misreading the situation. Theory can speak not just to how you think it is, but also to how it might be - particularly in security, where hostile actors are trying to change how it is.
