In Perl, the "!!(value)" idiom normalizes "(value)" as a boolean. Many different values are considered true, and a few different values are considered false, but the result of "!!(value)" can be only one of two values. So yes, this will make an undef value into a defined false value, but it will also make some random true value into a single predictable true value. I don't know for sure that it means the same thing in JavaScript, but I'd be pretty surprised if it doesn't.
