You just > look at the source code. I have read code where people checked variable existence in global code. Typeof prevents a ReferenceError if the variable is not declared. Having been used to do it in global code (where you can't always "read the code"), or just reading it somewhere, people reproduce within a function.
I agree that there are a lot of bad practices in here, but some people do do it. Moreover, the concept of static scoping and "just look at the code to see if a variable is declared" is not that obvious for newcomers to the language or newcomers to programming. David
