It leaves you still susceptible to the argument that those with
JavaScript turned off do not return. You still don't know how many
JavaScript disabled browsers would be hitting your site if
it didn't require JavaScript. You have no way
of knowing how many refuse to return because they find your site
unusable. Further, I doubt your site_in_construction has been
around long enough to get a decent sample size. And,
visitors who might actually buy something from your site are not at all
clearly the same as those who have visited so far. So the so-called
statistic you have cited is without any significant value to anyone, not
even you in any way that I can imagine.

But you did respond to many people's comments about many other things,
indicating some interest in investigating them. Are we now to let those
responses just slide?
