His basis is that you want to reach as many people as possible and a 
certain percentage of them will turn off javascript.  Now I ask, what is 
that percentage?  If you are selling something, how much added revenue 
would be gained from having that percentage reach you versus the added 
costs for writing AND DEBUGGING AND MAINTAINING a dual system.

Putting into google "percentage of people who turn off javascript" we 
get from the very first link:

"According to data collected in 2007, 1.04% have it disabled in the EU, 
and 3.05% have it disabled in the US."

So, between one and three percent turn off javascript.  I call that no 
BFD.  I'll put a message in the script for the "page" that javascript is 
required for this "page".  It just doesn't pass the cost/benefit analysis.

(I, myself, am in the 97% of the US users).
