Thank you so much for your polite, civil evaluation of my educated guess on the behavior of a script. And I'm wrong because ...?

And if every site where two clicks = two sales were to be taken offline and changed, roughly two-thirds of the commercial Web would vanish. A lot of websites work like that, mostly because they use canned scripts that work like that. The assumption is made that a) the customer won't click "buy" twice, and if they do, b) refunding/canceling a spurious purchase will solve the problem.
