If all you want to do is fall back on "it's an arbitrary standard imposed by typographers and sensible people fall in line" then go do that.  This guy says typists see it differently, but they aren't the ones that get to print it. 

Although, if double spaces ARE necessary for some typefaces why should we have two standards instead of one? 

I have to ask something: Are you genuinely convinced that double spaces are better than single spaces or are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? The latter is a bannable offense.

I truly use double spaces and think they would be the superior practice.  And I am not convinced you are correct on the other matter either, as long as the debate is civil -- though I may well be mistaken and you'd likely be more knowledgeable than I.   [edit:  Upon reflection, I suppose that would technically be trolling.]
