It's a hyperbole, I agree, however, the basic gist is there. People have their own idea of "What looks right", and then, if given the tools to do so, will reformat the text to their vision, not necessarily preserving structural meaning.
That's why you don't give them easy access to tools like font color, just as they don't have easy access now (they have to know the right HTML). The editor will have to display such text correctly, and give *some* way to allow it to be added (unless you want to ban inline style altogether), but it doesn't have to be easier than now.
