stipulate:

let result = "" + "Fred";

No, it is not, it is called concatenation.

Appending you do to something existing,
while in this syntax a totally new resultstring results,
while the building parts remain unchanged.

[that's why concatenation is so time and memory inefficient in Javascript]

Many posters seem to forget that "appending" is about the DOM,
and the DOM is a "tree" [not a "list"].

The HTML-elements that are stored in the tree, 
can have inner-elements when experssed as a markup-script.

But in the DOM-tree they are just child elements,
and they are NOT "in" the parent element, 
but are appended to, read "linked to", that parent.
