I agree most of the time, but it can make sense in certain contexts. One common example is comparison methods: if (x1 < y1) return true; if (x2 < y2) return true; if (x3 < y3) return true; return false; I wouldn't want to replace the last two lines with `return (x3 < y3)`, even though that's functionally the same thing. In this contrived example, we could just return a single compound condition, but hopefully it's clear that there are cases where doing so would make more of a mess, too.
