IIRC in JavaScript the numeric value of a string that is not a well-formed
numeral is indeed NaN, so isNaN("abc") should be true.

"The exception proves the rule."  Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves
my theory."  Classicists think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts the
rule to the proof."  But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
