Exactly!

However, it is arguable if current behaviour is really a bug, assignment 
is supposed to always return what it is assigned to. But on the other 
hand one may have a circumstance when assigning something to a thing 
like a black hole, for instance, should always return false, and that is 
where true == false as someone in another discussion here was 
flabbergasted, when I brought up such a possibility.
