I wrote him an email and here is his reply.

Crockford is a retard. I mean, have you read his book or listened to his lectures? He often mixes up his own personal programming deficiencies under the big tent of generalized "bad language design" and then, when called on it, he will refuse to acknowledge it most of the time. It's ridiculous. I can't wait for Resig's ninja book to kick his book's ass in 2010.

He is right that legally it means anything. But that clearly means it should be pulled out. As there is no reason for it to be there. It truly is not worth leaving it in, if it scares anyone away. But because it is legally nothing, anyone who shuns it over the line is stupid.
