No one is arguing either of these points; I believe most of the
contention has been about what degree of complexity of a document
warrants the transition from HTML to LaTeX. IIRC, in your first post
on this subject, you said that HTML was good for anything up to and
including a master's thesis, and I suspect that common opinion is
against you on this head. I'm not sure where is a better spot to
plant the arbitrary transition point, but I am sure that it's well
south of the master's thesis.
All the best,
