i say dilute because i have an obvious bias haha.
Well it's only in the last few years that prog has really taken much from techno, and that's because the prog DJs and producers are so desperate to remain cool they will sell their soul rather than continuing with what the style once stood for. I'm sure someone might argue that borrowing from techno is still within the progressive manifesto, but copying the biggest, most trendy electronic genre isn't what prog should be about.

i like the 'concept' of progressive that you put forth here, and a good deal of many tunes that came about with that state of mind, but just like with 'minimal', when a technique or an approach becomes stratified and turned into a style or genre, that's when it begins to turn to shit.
I think that's fair to say. For the first five years or so, nobody had a fucking clue what "progressive house" really meant. Leftfield once stated in an interview that they could release a rock song and it would get called progressive house- no matter which direction they went, people just called it "progressive house". It didn't represent a set of musical characteristics, but an ethos. Then, as you say, it become stratified and there became a set of sounds people called "progressive".
I highlighted your statement because I didn't think it was fair to take a small chunk of progressive's history and say "progressive is [whatever]" based on that chunk, which you would never do to techno.

You can recap it yourself by copying and pasting the second line of the opening post a few dozen times. You'll have to use your imagination because I doubt they spoke in free indirect discourse, but you get the idea.

I had pictured them using their mouths to mimic the different sounds in the track and slapping out the beats with their hands on the dashboard of the car in the attempt to convince one another that it was either more "techno-like" or more "prog-like."

its definitely techno because of how loopy it is and the fact that Sven plays it. That's really the deciding factor. Does Sven play it, yes...then it is techno.

Original minimalistic (and kind of ambient) techno-minimalistic in a true sense of the word-taking loops from classical works, applying reverb and delay to the maximum (hence creating ambient walls of sound) and adding a slow metronomic beat to serve as the base. Very hypnotic and dreamy, i always "use" Gas when i study and stuff.
