Do you mean that the Latin expression as such makes sense, or do you mean 
that it makes sense in this context?  Because if you mean the latter, you 
are mistaken, as is the pseudonymous address-munging author of the precursor 
of your posting (whom I had therefore killfiled long ago, but who does not 
appear to have noticed that).

The context matters in which String values are used.  It is irrelevant that 
the String value is used as argument to the alert() method here.  It is very 
relevant that the String value is part of an (X)HTML attribute value, 
because that is parsed by the markup parser of the user agent *before* 
control is passed on to the script engine.

There must be an error in the Matrix [1].
