We are talking unique hits with JS disabled as being less than 1%, not
repeat hits.

It wouldn't be appropriate to name other people here as they may not want to
be, but they are high up. That aside, our own statistics are enough as they

What is important is that over 99% of people visiting our site -- the site
in question -- have JS enabled. We therefore think it reasonable to make
the site rely on JS, rather than provide a lesser experience for the 99%
just because the <1% want to spoil it.

A bit OTT, but for reference from the past month:
JS enabled: 1,796 unique
Total hits: 1,803 unique
