No :-)

Otherwise, maybe we should make it even more explicit:

  if (lapTimeFlag == True) == True:

...but that still requires the reader to understand that the body of
the if: block will only execute if ((lapTimeFlag == True) == True) ==
True..

(hmm, reminds me of Lewis Carroll's modus ponens paradox)
