Very strong sentence. I have another point of view after  talking to
some real-life clients.

I'm not saying that you could achive the ideal  quality  not taking into
account some significant differences between different media.

I'm saying that

1. Maybe not every document in this world requires the brilliant  quality
of the presentation.

2. It may be better  to share some information between the stylesheets
insted of  rewriting  the whole stylesheet  from stratch for every media.
