I don't know if what I am about to describe is a Rails, HTML, browser of 
some other issue.

My problem: Sometimes the input fields of the following form are pre-filled 
with things I did not set ... like vales from a previous, uh, filling.

Here's my .erb code taken - more-or-less - from 
devise-4.3.0/lib/generators/templates/simple_form_for/registrations/new.html.erb
<div class='ralph-h2'>Sign up</div>

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(
resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <%= devise_error_messages! %>

  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :email %>
    <div><em>Required (e.g. [email protected])</em></div>
    <%= f.email_field :email, required: true, autofocus: true, value: " " %>
  </div>

  <br />

  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :name %>
    <div><em>Optional</em></div>
    <%= f.text_field :name, value: "This is silly" %>
  </div>

  <br />

  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :password %>
    <% if @minimum_password_length %>
      <em>(<%= @minimum_password_length %> characters minimum)</em>
    <% end %><br />
    <%= f.password_field :password,  required: true, autocomplete: "off" %>
  </div>

  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
    <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation,  required: true, 
autocomplete: "off" %>
  </div>

  <div class="actions">
    <%= f.submit "Sign up" %>
  </div>
<% end %>

<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>


Note, for instance, 
  <%= f.text_field :name, value: "This is silly" %>

Sometimes the input value is "This is silly" and sometimes it's a value a 
user previously entered.

How do I force the value "This is silly" every time the user refreshes the 
screen?
