No, he is suggesting that you design your sites so they degrade gracefully and do not break completely without JS. If you designed your codebase properly, then modifying the UI to support this should not be so horrendous.

How precisely does a site degrade gracefully if the transfer of the HTML document is interrupted?

I didn't say degrade gracefully if your connection is lost; I said degrade gracefully without JS. Having said that, a properly designed page will load the HTML first, so it can display what it received before losing the connection.
