I'm just thrown for a loop. Why is the default to assume I'm familiar with the ||= operator in ES?

The fact that the ||= operator short circuits makes sense from an optimization point of view. I will maintain that there is no good use for the correctness (as opposed to optimization) of the code to depend on that feature.
