Originally you had to do your cfifs this way back in version 2 land.
Basically what you are saying here is :
I have a command <CFIF> inside that command I have a variable called
check that I need to insert the value it contains into the cfif and then
check it against the value on the other side of the operator.
<cfset check = 12>
<cfif #check# eq 1>
becomes
<cfif 12 eq 1>
becomes
false
What you are doing is adding an extra stage of processing to the cfif,
rather than just saying compare the variable "check" against the value
on the other side of the operator.
<cfset check = 12>
<cfif check eq 1>
becomes
false
Plus it looks dreadful and makes your code hard to read.

PS. It may not may the slightest difference in CFMX, but it still looks
awful!
