Thanks Erik. You have clarified an issue that has been muddy in my mind for 
some years now. (will I now be adaptive enough to incorporate it into my 
mindset?)

Insights into how browsers actually work are very black-box for me. I blame 
this habit of mine on too much time in the laboratory as a student. Perhaps 
I should have studied anatomy more and behavior less.
