It boggles my mind how someone can be condescending and ask "have you Googled this?" while providing what is effectively a non-answer / tautological truth.

Student: "What is the answer to a+b?" Master: "Isn't it obvious? It's A plus B!"

Yes, clamp() has an additional ideal value, but try applying clamp() and minmax() (with the same upper/lower-bounds) to grid-template-columns, and then try resizing the grid. It seems to me there's no difference between the two in that case, at least visually.

Can someone who actually understands help answer this for me?
