> because it cost me nothing at the time to proactively throw in a return statement This is how I’ve generally always handled redirects, be it server or client - if I’m redirecting the user somewhere else, my expectation is that nothing else on this page or in this script _should_ run. Will it? Maybe, JavaScript is weird. To avoid the possibility, I’m going to return instead of just hoping that my expectations are met.
