> This whole progressive enhancement thing is mired in decade old dogma. While progressive enhancement can work sometimes, it is NOT the only tool. We shouldn't wholesale prescribe solutions without knowing someone's problem.
The "first load" problem is a recent addition to the canon of reasons why progressive enhancement is a solid approach. I think that trashes your argument that this is "decade old dogma".
And to further counter your point, the notion that "decade old dogma" is "bad" is refuted by success of POSIX/UNIX. And wheels. Some "old" ideas are still state of the art.
