+       This is allowed to remove a control only because the control is

+       class more specific than it looks in the source -- and a bare
+       `#queue-button` here loses to it, media query or not. Being last
+       in the file is not enough when the thing above is more specific,
+       which is the same lesson as this section's own header one level
