It's such an irrelevant surface-level thing to judge someone's intelligence and coding ability on. Just because they wrote that doesn't mean they don't understand that it could be simplified or that they aren't capable of handling much more complex boolean logic. Sometimes I write things like that just because I am typing my thoughts into code as they come to me, and that's just how I happened to vocalise it in my head.
