It looks strange when they talk about the responsive layout on a site that takes about 1/6th of my screen width... pretty much a thin stripe in the centre.


Would you find it easier to read if the characters per line increased dramatically just to fit your screen?


No. Font size, kerning, multiple columns, etc. are all better alternatives.

I wouldn't mention it on any other page. It's just that this article is about responsive page design. But it's not responsive itself. The post itself mentions: "Use a big font size and an adapted line height (this template uses 16px / 24px)." and "To design a responsive layout, we have to forget about the usual static 960px width layouts"
