This just makes no sense. If somehow the minimizer wasn't able to further process it, maybe it's just because it was already quite thoroughly processed and you will loss some information if you continue? That's totally unsound approach. What does that extra fee bytes of saving do to loading time anyways? Probably very little, yet you risk very real degradation and broken behaviors. Not to mention the author even admitted to not being very proficient in CSS and doesn't even want to learn JS because he "dislikes it too much"... The whole description of the process is basically dragging something on out of very little substance. In general good laughing material though, just as he acknowledged at the end of the article, I guess.
