Scientifically superior is a strong claim.
Though what is important to note is that web accessibility is still important for visually healthy person. It sucks that visually disabled people have trouble navigating the web, but heck as a sighted user I have trouble finding things too. Just yesterday I said how awesome the original Mac Writer was. It was simple. Compare to today, I can't even locate the line space option easily.
I can careless about the pretty round corners. I care about efficiency. Is the information adequate or not, is it loading quickly or not.
Not all simple websites are created equal either. I have been to a lot of static blogs lately and friends, half of them have horrible nav or CSS choice.
Web semantic is scientifically superior because then a program can parse the input very easily. No more div soup to create buttons. img should have alt. <p> shouldn't be misused.
One wonders if the HTML works for our purpose or not. It was meant for document sharing. Does it work for our multi-media purpose?
And yes, I can't do all the things above because I just do what works... if it works, it's good right?
