So in your head, the analogy is not a big part of the argument? I'd accept your congrats, but I really have not earned it. The whole idea of comparing CSS to general purpose, Turing complete programming languages is surprisingly stupid. CSS has a very specific, narrow goal: styling HTML elements.

The analogy is decoupled from the thing it analogizes, and refuting the analogy refutes the thing itself about as much as burning a picture of the thing burns the thing itself.

Right, so, you still don't like the analogy but again don't address the argument.
