As someone who actually likes R I think this makes sense. Line 5 is checking for equality, whereas in R as.* functions actually convert types or structures. The documentation on as.logical is also pretty clear on what would happen. https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/raster/versions/3.5-15/topics/as.logical https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/raster/versions/3.5-... > Change values of a Raster* object to logical or integer values. With as.logical, zero becomes FALSE, all other values become TRUE. With as.integer values are truncated.

Yeah. There's a difference between "This language isn't being internally consistent" and "Due to my experience using language X, I find this confusing". As you say, this is well documented behavior, albeit perhaps unexpected to a novice R user.
