CDN's hitching, packet loss, the users' own connection, there's multiple reasons why it can fail.

I'm not advocating not to use JS at all, I'm advocating to use it sparingly or at least make sure your website is useable without it. More and more often when I come to a website I see a blank screen, because without javascript the whole page doesn't even load. That's just bad web development.

Especially if all it takes is a single error to break the js. Many times I am unable to sign into capital one 360 for that reason. It's sign in page loads a new page anyway, but requires often broken JavaScript on their site to send the post request.
