Responsive web design is obnoxious. If I'm using a desktop user agent on my phone, that means I want to see the desktop site, even if I have to zoom and pan to see everything. I don't want the site's CSS to decide from my screen's width that it's a mobile device and show me the mobile version anyway.

I think the pure concept of responsive web design is that the same exact content is shown at all resolutions, but with different layout. The issue is that exposing that information lets them discriminate between desktop clients and mobile clients.
