One of my pet peeves is single line paragraphs.

It's like you have to take a breath after reading one paragraph.

But the paragraph was just one sentence.

"Justified", I suppose, just looks nicer in smaller width columns, like in a newspaper where there might be four columns on one page. "Ragged right" prevents a 'natural' line on the right side of the column, somewhat diffusing the bounding box of the column. Nonetheless, it's interesting to see another view on reading, where the parent commenter prefers wider rather than more narrow columns. I usually lose track on a line level, rather than paragraph level, when the column is too wide.

This also reminds me of an internal diff tool that showed changes with a red (removed) and green (added) coloured backgrond. At some point a colleague pointed out that they could not see the difference between those backgrounds! An eye-opener, if you will, in terms of accessibility that requires adding other, non-coloured, elements indicating the semantic meaning of those background colours.
