"I don't like being negative" That's fine that article was a good read. If you pay attention to how the breakpoint system works it allows your designs to be fluid. What I meant when I mentioned that text wrapping is consistent is that it will be consistent at the breakpoints (I like to think of them more like snapshots of the current layout that is being constrained at a specific width), outside of the breakpoints the text and other elements in the page will adapt accordingly to containers. In that case it will not be perfect outside of the breakpoint lines. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks, I didn't know about the breakpoint system. I'm glad that "consistent" in this case doesn't mean fixed width, like PDF or bad 90s websites. I'm sorry I over-reacted.
Right, its not the 90s but lots of people still print & still will for a long time. Plus consistent designs doesn't have to imply print, maybe you're targeting another fixed height medium like a giant electronic billboard.
Haha no worries. Don't hold back on the feedback.
