When could an extra "== true" or "== false" possibly make anything clearer? if not (x > 5) looks normal, if (x > 5) == false { .. ] is just confusing.

When could an extra "== true" or "== false" possibly make anything clearer? if not (x > 5) looks normal, if (x > 5) == false { .. ] is just confusing. Why would it matter if a function returned a boolean? It's either compared for truthiness, or the comparison for truthiness or compared for truthiness, even in the most dynamic languages.
