You didn't read MRABs explanation, did you?

Wrong. The "'=' not in (...)" first evaluates the expression in 
parentheses, that's what parentheses are for. And then it looks for '=' 
in the result. And that result is just one of the three values, MRAB 
told you which one.

Same here. You can't take the "'=' in" out of the parentheses, that 
leads to a wrong result.

??? If you know it doesn't work like this, then it won't help you to 
wilfully understand something you'd like to be true.

No, this time it isn't.
