Please forgive me for replying to myself, but I wanted to clarify: Not every site/application requires maximum usability. For example, if you're an artist and you want a site that provides a media-rich, immersive experience for visitors, then it makes sense to compromise usability and incorporate JavaScript, Flash, QuickTime, etc.
