Flip over to normal view.

You will see the left column text followed by the right column text.

Where as with a table, you will see them side by side.

For most cases it shouldn't matter, but I would think (and I have
never tried this) a screen reader would follow the columns in order,
left then right.

The table would be spoken left to right. Now it may not make a
difference in this case, but it may if you were dealing with multiple
paragrapsh and an uneven number of paragraphs on each side.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well
preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,
shouting "What a great ride!"
