One problem is, no one seems to be able to define "web application" in a way that makes the distinction clear. Most sites that use javascript still use it in the context of displaying documents, so if you define any site that uses javascript at all as an "application," then most sites, including Hacker News, count as applications. But that doesn't actually fix any problems.
