>>A static web page (sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored"

>Right. "exactly as stored" It doesn't matter who or what wrote the HTML. I could do it by hand or maybe use a WYSIWYG editor to make it or maybe it's generated by a script.

Yes, agree.

>The point is that there's an html file sitting on disk and the server delivers it without modification and it's viewable in the browser as it.

No, I don't think that's the widely understood interpretation of "static web page."

Even the definition you agree with just says the file is delivered as-is. It says nothing about how the browser renders the page.
