I mentioned that in my other comment.

When CSS doesn't load, it's immediately apparent and the user knows they need to reload the page.

Isn't that exactly the opposite of the "progressive enhancement" philosophy anti-Javascript people tend to claim to subscribe to?

How?

It doesn't have anything to do with progressive enhancement.

You're saying that when the enhancement doesn't work, it's desirable that "it's immediately apparent and the user knows they need to reload the page". That's the opposite of what progressive enhancement people normally argue for.
