[css-multicol-1] which paragraph says count+width not making sense?

[myakura]

However, as described below, setting both the width and number of columns rarely makes sense.

Although I'm pretty bad at reading, I couldn't find below where it's described. Example 4 doesn't seem to say that.

I agree, I cannot find the "below". Also, this statements is pretty strange. It's judgemental, but I don't agree with it. I think we should just drop it.

@rachelandrew , what do you think?

[rachelandrew]

Yep, I had wondered about it too. I think we can just remove that? If so I'll do it.

I just found MDN explains it pretty well (guess who wrote it ;-))
https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Columns/Basic_Concepts_of_Multicol#Using_column-count_and_column-width_together

perhaps the spec say similar. adding a note to tell setting these two might end up fewer columns is helpful for authors.

Yeah, we can just delete that, no need to go through the working group for that, it's just a weird little bit of non normative prose.
