Scratched front element or dust inside your lens?

I came across this little interesting link. I'm not going to ruin or spoil anything. Just click the link and look at the photos taken with a mildly scratched lens before your scroll down.

It'll still take a picture. Wonder if it's the lens or the user that the exposure and focus is so eff'd in those samples.
