Yep, just about, although if you look closely, the `any` in the original code is not a symbol, but is actually a variable or a method (could be either, we can't know from the sample). Also, the return in that block would cause an exception, because it doesn't do what the original programmer thinks it does. I guess he never tried out what happens if destroy returns false (which would happen if destroy fails, e.g. because a validation failed).
