Yet another example of your stringing words together and producing a
result that says nothing.

Are 'we' making up our own terminology agian?

That is the specified (and so expected) result. The type-converting
comparison will tend to do numeric comparisons so (as Lasse stated) the
fact that the empty string type-converts to numeric zero makes this
comparison true.

One of the main things you would benefit from learning is an
appreciation of how very little you actually do know. See ECMA 262, 3rd
Ed. Section 15.7.1 "The Number Constructor Called as a Function", and
appreciate that a function should not be spoken of as a 'method' unless
it is called as a member of an object.
