I think you're missing the point Richard. Yes you can detect the meta redirect or manual refresh using your method. But only the first can be detected because when the page is served up to the browser again either the special meta redirect URL is active, non special normal URL is active, or a super special I'm redirecting but don't count me URL is active. Now what happens when the user does a manual refresh again? It's not about output, it's about detecting subsequent refreshes and determining again the source of the refresh. You must have some kind of session tracking system in place, be it a regular session or a database query that can check if an ID was already detected that indicates to discount the page load from any statistics.
