That's a good point, and it certainly lends credibility to your claim. It makes me wonder what causes this. My instinct is that JS attracts more people to it from things like design, where people seem to fawn over (seemingly trivial) things like the meaning of certain kinds of ovals. And so I think it would follow that this kind of mentality bleeds over into some aspects of JavaScript.
