Often, yes. But there are a number of cases where you already know by other 
means that the value is non-null, for example
        if (a.count >= 3)
                [widgets addObject: a.firstObject]
Testing a.firstObject for nil would be pointless.

This is the equivalent of those times when you use “!” to dereference an 
optional in Swift.
