I'm not a fan of modern js-ridden site implementations but a search engine that displays a resource different from what will actually be consumed by the user is a bad search engine.

Perhaps you can put the blame on the creator of the site, but that won't bring us anywhere if we just allow people to game the system.

That's exactly what happens, though, and JS takes some of the blame.

The spider is indexing stuff that is the result of code execution that won't reproduce!
