No no no. Code like that doesn't deserve death, just community service. I've seen much MUCH worse... where multiple conditional expressions get combined arithmetically, and then the result used somewhere... I also may have been guilty of same, myself, though I'm going to plead the internet's equivalent of the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution and not incriminate myself by showing the code...
