Yeah I do, but maybe not as much as I dislike people who don't know much, but
talk a lot. You are seemingly unaware that vertical-align _should_ have no
effect in this situation.

Well, if you want to bring WAI into it, out of the clear blue sky, maybe you
should at least read their material first:
[
Tables should be used to mark up truly tabular information ("data tables").
Content developers should avoid using them to lay out pages ("layout
tables")
]
"CSS tables" are no more legitimate than HTML tables becase those properties,
such as table-cell, exist to allow authors to define table elements in _non-
HTML_ languages, e.g. XML applications.
