> He stated the rules logically

A computer is made of logic gates, therefore anything a computer does is logical by definition.

It is literally not able to do anything that is not a logical operation

True, but this "logical" spec was not created by computer.

I'm kidding a bit here. My post is actually agreeing with the parent poster but in a sort of roundabout deceptive way of appearing to disagree.

It got flagged and several downvotes. Likely from saying that css is terrible. But I mean that's the essence of the parents actual argument is it not? He's essentially saying css is just not well made or poorly designed. I'm just more on the nose about what he's actually saying.

Either way as you pointed out css being logical is from a very technical perspective correct.

No, here is the logical behavior. Width applies to the left and right direction, Height applies to the up and down direction, and otherwise their behavior is exactly the same. That's why everyone gets it wrong, consistency between these two is the logical expectation.
