This is unfair and unreasonable. You pivoted a discussion about JS capabilities into a Nuremberg defense metaphor. We're talking about JS-triggered network activity, not murdering civilians. And inevitability, not a lack of responsibility.
Moreover, he's right. JS would have to be fundamentally crippled (no network activity at all) to enforce this. And if you did that, someone would have built equivalent functionality because people wanted it. In fact someone did build an equivalent, actually multiple: ActiveX, Flash, Java Applets.
