In haste to make your point, you overlook that Boolean expression are used in loops too. Combined with a "break;" I'm sure many here have used a "while (true)".

He was just responding directly to the article's points. The author lamented that now he would "need to write If (1==1) instead"

We all knew, or should have known, the point the article author was making. Who gives a shit if he wrote if(true) or while(true) in the piece, the same problem applies regardless of if "if(true)" is something you want to see in code or not.
