There is no former or latter; it is one set of conditions with an "and"
and a "nor" in there, i.e. if (A AND NOT B AND NOT C).

So, is <meta http-equiv="refresh" to the exact same page a "refresh" or
a "redirect" semantically speaking?

The part you can't seem to grasp is that the subject of the post is
mouse movement detection, not "page refresh/redirect".

If I add "for all practical purposes" between the words "means" and
"javascript" would that make you happy?

I originally was going to do that but left it out thinking no one could
be that anal retentive.
