Jason,
All methods in the `assert` module return undefined instead of returning a
Boolean representing the result. While this would make sense in the
affirmative case:
console.log(assert(true)) => "true"

It stops making sense once the assertion is false. Because it throws an
AssertionError, the console.log statement would never happen anyway.

Does that answer your question? Is there another pattern we can recommend
here to get you what you need?
