The point is that "if" branches based on a boolean value. A comparison is just one way to produce a boolean value. There's nothing explicit by adding "==true". It just show a lack of understanding of "if".

If an extra "== true" can be considered more precise, would

  if ((conditional == true) == true)
be even more precise?
