Starting with the number of visitors who have their browsers at less than,
say, 700 px.

On the Superstats site, that's around 35%.  On the client site I mentioned,
it's 38%.  Check your client's site info, then ask the client if they're
willing to at the very least annoy that many visitors.

All the other niceties are fine, but surfers simply will not expand and
shrink their browser windows unless it's extremely compelling content
addressing an extremely compelling need, and how many of those have you
seen?

From which you can infer that hardly anybody is ever going to change their
window size for any Web site.
