In this case it's different. The verbose code is slower and not only *as* easy to read, but actually harder to read. More lines to parse for the human brain, and the need to check if all 5 (FIVE!) "identical" strings are *really* identical. And guess what: they aren't identical! Did you notice? No problem in the efficient version. And if you know what an negation operator does (!), then the efficient code is very easy to understand.
