That tweet is ridiculous. The World Wide Web was created for one purpose only...serve formatted documents across a network for scientists. Using !important beyond it's intended purpose is called hacking, and has been around since before there were computers. People found use beyond the main purpose of !important, and that's ok...it was a dead end, but that's beside the point.

Never use !important in your production css at all costs. In development, experiment with it all you want...maybe you'll uncover something amazing...in this case, probably not...but better to hack on things than accept what you're given.
