Re:Google’s AMP is a gilded cage

I got 91/100 mobile, 90/100 desktop for a site that is 4.95kb.
Reasons?
* Apparently the HTML should be minified.
* Apparently I should use gzip, because 4.95kb is too big.
* The inline styles are below the content to prevent showing the user nothing as it paints. Google thinks the 594 bytes of styles needs to be in a separate request.
I think insights is pretty useless at analysing sites below a certain size threshold.
At these sizes, network latency is the biggest drain on loading a page... Which effectively means users don't notice loading times when they click a link.
