Sorry, I must be short of caffeine today ;-) can you give me an
example where replacing an unescaped newline with || exit $? works but
replacing it with && does not? That's all we are talking about yes?
I don't object to || exit $? btw, just want to be clear on what the
percieved problem is with using && instead.

Agreed.
