Meteor - return false

In this code what does the last return false; do?

Template.register.events({
  'submit #register-form': function(event, template) {
    event.preventDefault();
    // Get input values
    var email = template.find('#account-email').value,
      password = template.find('#account-password').value;

    // Trim and validate Email
    var trimInput = function(val) {
      return val.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g, "");
    }
    var email = trimInput(email);

    // Validate Password
    var isValidPassword = function(value) {
      if (value.length >= 6) {
        return true;
      } else {
        sAlert.error('Your password must be at least 6 characters long');
        return false;
      }
    }

    // If Password ok -> Register user
    if (isValidPassword(password)) {
      Accounts.createUser({
        email: email,
        password: password
      }, function(error) {
        if (error) {
          // Inform the user that account creation failed
          sAlert.error('Account creation failed for unknown reasons');
        } else {
          // Success. Account has been created and the user
          // has logged in successfully.
          sAlert.success('Account created successfully');
        }
      });
    }
    return false;
  }
});

isValidPassword() is a function which returns a Boolean value (true or false). This script allows the user to continue with account creation if it returns true

From the looks of it, it looks like it was intended to provide a false response should the code make it all the way to the bottom.
