I agree 100%. I would add that when using the standard `_Bool` type (IE. `bool` if you include `<stdbool.h>`) all assignments to it are converted to their 'logical value' first. So even if condition is an integer or pointer, if you did what you suggested the `condition` will still be converted into `true` or `false` on the return exactly the same as if you did the `if`. It's exactly the same as doing `return !!condition`. Now if you're function is not returning a `bool`, then that conversion won't happen - but of course that doesn't matter if `condition` is already a logical value of 0 or 1 (Which it is in this case). And IMO, if your value isn't a logical value I'd much rather see `return !!condition` instead of the `if` anyway (Though I concede that those not familiar with C may not immediately recognize what that syntax does).
