The declaration being invalid is not necessarily more obvious than the last value being applied. Depends on the document and the style sheet. Also, we are talking about media queries that could apply to media that is not being frequently tested/verified. The last value is the closest that we have to "author's intent".

If you mean putting `calc()` at the _switch_ itself, that prevents explicit invalidation because `calc()` is supposed to clamp.
