Your example only demonstrates the effect of `[[`. If you replace it with `[` the error won't occur. In both cases double-quoting (or not) `$X` makes no difference in the context of your example.

[ is an external program called "test" and [[ is a bash builtin, they have many different behaviours beyond just trying to use one to prove the other wrong on a random internet comment.

I merely used that to show that the error message was tied to `[[` and not to the use of double quotes (which your parent comment was asking about).
