disabling javascript on your browser is like disabling your battery to your laptop...why would anyone do that.
A: Because there's a wall outlet available, which is more reliable and less costly than the battery that empties after a certain time, and dies after a certain number of recharges.
The wall outlet in this case is markup: html, xml, etc.
The most important thing is the text being "marked up"
i.e. the content.
A user can get that content just fine without js and even without markup.
Read the Google Guide again... when the bot/spider comes round, it's not looking for brilliant uses of javascript or markup tags, it's looking for CONTENT.
