Interesting writeup... There are some things that may feel weird... but in the end it makes sense when you're thinking of ETL and validation. In the case of the above, it's a garbage in/garbage out scenario... the fact that JS lets you do it is pretty awesome. JS is better than most at dealing with garbage and not blowing up. For it's first purpose, validating input, it's great. It also makes it great as a middle-tier service language as a result.
