I was oversimplifying, hense the smiley.

But since you want to argue...

A request to an HTML document with no JavaScript src links, image links, or CSS links will not make multiple requests. I'm old enough to remember when I had to actively tell images to load.

The code for the page is written by programmers. Programmers cause browsers to make multiple requests. Often times without understanding "the spec".

Unless there's a non-JS src link, or a non-CSS link tag, or an xml:base attribute, or an area element with an href attribute, or... you get the idea.

All things put in by a programmer.

You get my point.
