width only poses a minor problem in that, if you set the width (no matter min-width, max-width, or width) to a value (in
our case smallest was 8.3%), a single word can be longer than that space & thus sort-of break

update on current state of product = at present, we are only using the actual css rule of "width" to control the size of a 
flex child using its flex-basis value (which is in %) under the parent's flex-direction column setting
