If many designers used header tags for reasons other than indicating

What you're ignoring is the fact that not every use of mis-ordered headers
is the result of a careless designer using them for layout. Some styles
deliberately skip a level - APA formatting*, for instance, specifies that
a document that uses two levels of headings must use levels 1 & 3.

I'm not ignoring your "fact"

It's not a "fact," it's a fact.

I said "many designers", I did not say
"most designers" or "all designers". If you had read my earlier
posts in this thread, you will have noted that I also said that a good
designer will know when strict ordering is not appropriate.

I replied to what you wrote in the message I replied to. It's not my fault
that your own message lacked the context necessary for me to reply to it
accurately without going digging through the entire thread.
