When viewing a post with styles off, the comment headers are shown twice. Example:

Also, you'll notice a lot of cruft at the bottom of the page, that is presumably hidden by styles.

There is lots of content that is managed with styles to allow the dynamic aspects of the site. CSS is a required browser feature of the site.
