Call them boss, call them stakeholder, call them prospects, call them whatever you want, point is, progressive enhancement requires actual hard work, it's not the default state of things when you move beyond the "research paper" format of having a bunch of paragraphs of text interspersed with section titles on a completely static page.

I still disagree - I made websites back in the ancient days when people used to generate HTML server-side. Things worked perfectly well. Current proliferation of heavy JS frameworks buys us nothing over those times, but wastes more electricity and time of our users.
