      He said "approximately", he wasn't talking about
having the words perfectly aligned to both
         edges, but something like this message. Having gaps
   at the edges for no reason would be terrible for
      readability. Using a fixed width font makes sure
 you see what everyone else sees.


You can't be serious...I suspect you are trying to say something 
completely different, because I don't see how anyone could think 
something so random could be better than naturally flowing text.

Having a straight line down the left side is much easier to read, it 
gives the eye a definite location to switch to after the end of a line. 
Forcing the right side to be even hurts readability, because it causes 
unnatural spacing in the words. Having the text centered is even harder 
to read, since the eye has to search for the beginning of the next line. 
Having both sides uneven would be the worst possible way, and I don't 
see why anyone would bother to do it.
