I agree with John, here, and think his sentiment is probably the most 
appropriate of all I've read.
For all the talk about what's "usable" and "readable", I haven't seen much 
mention of empirical testing done with ordinary people... (My sincere apologies 
if there's some usability test lab for middlingly intelligent JavaScripters 
that I'm not aware of).
It's worth remembering that nobody, no matter how well-intentioned, can ever 
really imagine what it's like to be more stupid or more ignorant than they 
currently are.
