Reason for the existence of non-short-circuit logical operators

Question

When used with boolean operands, & and | become logical operators per Section 15.22.2 of the JLS. Unlike &&

Answer 1

In my case, I have two methods that compare two different but related objects (Object2 is an attribute of Object1) to see if there were any changes. An update needs to happen if either are updated, but both need to be evaluated so that the objects will be modified if both have been changed. Therefore, a single pipe "OR" comparison is required.

EX:

if (compare(object1, currentObject1) | comparison(object2, currentObject2)) {
    updateObject1(object1);
}
