Hypothetical: CDN X is having problems, and your scripts don't load. Errors pop up everywhere. Do you:

a) realize that scripting can and will fail for anyone, and tailor a page to work without it;

or

b) continue to plug your ears and point to statistics?

I have scripting enabled, but block Google Analytics and various advertising hosts. Do I count as someone to be supported? Or am I irrelevant because I'm a minute statistic?
