I suppose building architecture for the always-connected future while still supporting the situation at present is out of the question, eh?
It seems clear to me that Chrome OS is intended to work offline anyway, so even if Google were spellbound by the no-hedging-your-bets fairy, I'm not sure that this would be a convincing demonstration of its power.

Perhaps, but at present offline functionality is extremely limited. Getting stuck somewhere with no reception often transformed my Chromebook into an elegant paperweight.
