If I am reading an article and I have scrolled down my browser a page or two
or three, I certainly think it could well be quite helpful to have the
navigation right there on my screen, rather than having to scroll all the
way back up to the top or bottom of the window.

No one is suggesting that every sight needs frames, but as mentioned, frames
are a tool and they have their place.
