That link is hilariously broken on my phone (Safari iOS 12)

I see the tiny zoomed out 2x2 layout of the page, but if I try to zoom in, it zooms in on the abyss.

And if I try to pan while zoomed in, it zooms back out to the illegible zoomed out view...

Actually the more I play with it, the more interesting the way it breaks are.

I was able to zoom in when I scrolled down first, and very inefficiently pan around the 2 column view, but if I pan too far, the zoom resets.

And sometimes I just end up being taken to the abyss again.

Which I figured out is way off in the right margin.

It's apparently made for printing online content, not reading in the browser / on your phone.
We have media queries, there’s no need to break one to make the other look good
Maybe I don't understand the project, but the top of the docs shows that it all goes inside the @media print{...} media query.
Sure, just make another @media screen {…}
Which didn't work in Safari on my mac. Looked like it did in FF, but only got the first 16 pages for some reason.
Broken on iOS 13 as well.
