CSS is so hard and so painful but why? And what can we do about it?

- Rich Hickey's "Simple Made Easy" talk has a lot of points about simplicty vs. complexity, and how stacking and tangling things is bad (see: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy)
- "Spooky action at a distance", a phrase coined by Einstein (see: http://www.technologyreview.com/view/427174/einsteins-spooky-action-at-a-distance-paradox-older-than-thought/)
- Quotes from that same article ^^ about "entanglement"
Entanglement occurs when two particles are so deeply linked that they share the same existence.
Entangled particles can become widely separated in space. But even so, the mathematics implies that a measurement on one immediately influences the other, regardless of the distance between them.
Let's drop the "C" from CSS because the cascade wants to hurt you.
- CSS has scope. z-index is affected by parent z-index values. em values are affected the same way.
