As the sexp is just elisp you can easily to add a function to your
.emacs configuration which makes this process easier.  For example.

     ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
     (defun exp-only () (if org-current-export-file "replace" "silent"))

allowing you to then do the following in your Org-mode files


     #+begin_src sh :results (exp-only) :exports results
       echo  "I want to see this in HTML/PDF, but not in Org"
     #+end_src

The above solution will not break anything else.

I don't believe "override" is the right term here, they are orthogonal.
So, ":exports results" does mean that the results will be exported, if
those results are "silent" then while they are run during export, there
nothing is added to the exported document.

I hope this does help.  One goal of Org-mode's code block support is to
provide as much functionality as possible from a core which is as
composed of a small number of orthogonal working pieces.  This maximizes
flexibility and utility with a minimum of maintenance and implementation
overhead.
