Ok, so why would I want to turn JS on and put up with those shitty 
browser-killing, user-experience-killing JS Ads just for a calculator that 
obviously doesn't need it?

As for the "nearly a complete duplication of work", it's a duplication of *a 
simple mathematical formula*. It's a near complete duplication *of something 
that is utterly trivial to implement either way*. And if you don't already 
have a system set up for the request/response stuff then you've got a 
*really* dinky site. And if you *do* have such a dinky site, then tossing in 
a basic client-server form is trivial.
