Here is an easy way to figure out how and/or-lists work: Given that && and || have the lowest precedence of all operators (except for ; and &), they can be thought of as concatenating commands/blocks/pipelines, and the execution rule for an and/or-list is: If the exit-status of the command/block/pipeline is 0, continue after the next &&, otherwise continue after the next || in the and/or-list.
