I do agree!
Sorry to bother you but I am a bit confused about this part of your comment:
> `alert("Hello, World!")` or `doSomething()` are usually statements, not expressions;
Can you please clarify what you mean here? Do you mean `alert("Hello, World!")` is an expression? Or do you mean it is not an expression? Or did you mistype?
Your `console.log( /* put thing here */ )` test is a pretty good one and indeed `console.log(alert("Hello, World!"))` passes this test.
