of what? that you don't need a separate mobile site (or js) to show a most basic wall of text?

open up amazon.com or walmart.com and see how your justification holds up. certainly, there are simple layouts with sparse content that can be made responsive easily (blogs, image portfolios, etc) but this is a far cry from proof that a broad statement is at all applicable.

Most sites only need to show just that. And fail miserably at it.

90% of sites are content based, not Amazon or Walmart. And even then could do with a much simpler layout.

Those are a pretty important 10%.

Fair enough. But how many sites on the internet that have special mobile sites are, at the end of the day, just showing walls of text?
