Yes, well, "properly written" is the key phrase here :)  Most
programmers simply can't be trusted not to put code in the presentation
layer if it is possible.  You have a deadline, you don't want to
recompile the servlet, so you add a Java scriptlet to the JSP, "just
this once"... and then one morning you wake up and find you can't read
your own code any more :)

That's why e.g. Velocity is so popular; it protects you from yourself.
