It's not a case of the alert not showing up. That would result in an error halting all processing. So for a human sitting at the screen that would give us the data he wanted. But for code that needs to do something differently if jQuery were not loaded, the alert method would just fail and the alternate code would never fire.
Of course, it comes down to what the coder really wants. He/she now has two options.
