To clarify the above,

if a code block has a :session header argument, then it is assumed that
the block should be evaluated regardless of it's :export header
argument, because it could change the state of the session, so in the
following simple example the first code block is evaluated on export
despite having an :exports none header argument, and this ensure that
the value of x is set for the second code block.

** :session evaluation on export
This first block is evaluated but /doesn't/ appear in export.

/:session *R* :exports none/
#+begin_src R :session *R* :exports none
  x <- 8
#+end_src

This second block /does/ appear in export.

#+begin_src R :session *R* :exports results
  x
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
