By default (i.e., StrictNodes is false) Tor will bypass your declared

ever look for another exit, and this traffic won't be routable.

Going from memory, don't quote me. ;-)

No, this is wrong. StrictNodes has no effect on ExitNodes.

This is maybe a better description than the previous one I tried:

AIUI:

StrictNodes 1
ExitNodes {us}
ExitNodes BigSexyBanana
