Why not use web.archive.org/web/1000/ to get the first crawl of the page?

The script appears to be designed to always get to the first crawl of a page. Thing is, it does this by visiting the "see all crawls" page and looking at a specific link from there.

My question is, why not instead take the user to, say, https://web.archive.org/web/1000/http://www.kelvinluck.com/article/switch-stylesheets-with-jquery which would accomplish the same goal with fewer steps?
