It proves its worth by streamlining the presentation to aid the moving eye. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You can read smoothly enough with a ragged right margin, but that ragged edge isn&amp;#39;t helping things, either. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;An elegant full justification eschews hyphenation through careful kerning that can ripple through a paragraph—an expense considered worthwhile by a considerate readership.
