Mike Rundle:

"A web designer is someone who designs for the web and knows the HTML & CSS needed to make their designs into real interfaces. If they don't know HTML & CSS, then they're not really designing for the web because they're not designing for the constraints of the medium. So what happens when someone who considers themselves a web designer doesn't have an in-depth knowledge of the medium? They make poor decisions. Decisions made without full knowledge of how their decision impacts the overall user experience."

Hell yes.
