Mutually exclusive means you can have one or the other - but not both,
like having your cake and eating it. You can have it or eat it. But
you can't do both.

In this case they are not mutually exclusive. You may or may not have
JS validation, depending on whether the user has JS enabled or not.

But if JS validation succeeds or is disabled, PHP validation will still
occur. The fact you can have both JS and PHP validation means they are
not mutually exclusive.
