That argument may seem reasonable but it is flawed. If
users with particular user agents can't use your site or find it difficult to
use then they are less likely to return. Your stats will then show a low number
for these users. You might conclude that the low number means you don't need to
bother fixing the site to cater for these users but in fact the
exact opposite is true.

Subject: Re: [WSG] Browser stats
The only way to get accurate statistics is to gather your own, on each
individual site. Then you're guaranteed a relevant sample. If you
look at statistics of any other site, no matter what they might claim, you're
not getting the information you need!
Make the site, put it up, check your stats, make any changes you deem
necessary. If it's a design question then go for 800x600 for now, and
change later if/when you decide you have enough 1024x768+ users.
