Notes for a responsive design talk or blog post I've been crafting in my head for over a year

Responsive design begs you to find the lowest common denominator to limit the amount of work you need to do across breakpoints. Ex. hover state: why maintain hover states AND 2-stage clicks for mobile, why not just make everyone use the 2-stage click method to keep it simple? Or why expose the navigation on desktop only to hide it on mobile when we can make the experience consistent and just use the menu icon in all places, decluttering the desktop experience as well?

LCD design has consequences.
