Why? Isn't this the entire point. 99.99999% of vistors to my website never click on a photo and zoom to 240%. Why serve all that extra data so that once in a lifetime pixel peeping weirdo doesn't get upset? If you're running a photography portfolio or something akin to it, then sure, serve big images. But for most of the web there's no reason to.

because, statistically, at some point every one of us will be the 0.00001% in someone else's problem... wouldn't you rather that they tried a little harder for you too? ;)

Honestly, no. It's a waste of energy, bandwidth and storage space.
