Google AdWords Conversion code

[Eric Bednarz]

Apparently the Google Adwords Conversion code generator produces
creative output like

| var google_conversion_value = 0;
| if (1) {
| google_conversion_value = 1;
| }

I’m not sure if anyone should want to know ;-), but out of curiosity, is
there a plausible explanation for this?

Serverside like:

if (<% = returnsOneOrTwenty %>) {

Not very intelligent, but that's plausible.

Probably different teams work on the serverside and clientside code.
