Saying that it may lead to a readability problem is conceding too much.
Given that the web page author does not know the reader's screen size,
nor the reader's font size, the author has no way of knowing how wide a
column ought to be.  There may be other reasons that we have not even 
imagined for the reader wanting to choose a different column width. 

Given that the author has no way of knowing what width to choose, then 
choosing a width is a gratuitous constraint.  This is true especially when it
is easier to not choose a width than it is to choose a width.
