Hi Samuel, thanks for your suggestion and for taking the time to create a pull request. (And apologies for me only replying now!)

Even though I agree with Butterick, I think this is ultimately a matter of personal preference. This list is more about assumptions and myths surrounding the technical application of fonts in software, not so much about preferences when using fonts yourself. Still, thanks again for contributing!
