Answer 1

In addition to

TRUE == "TRUE"

these are also true:

• TRUE==1
• TRUE==1.0
• TRUE==1.0000000000000001
• TRUE==0.99999999999999999 etc, in general also all values close enough to 1.0 to be IEEE754-rounded to it.

But what is more interesing is what if() checks: it checks non-false; in fact this plots!:

if(4.0) plot(1) 

I think the only values that dont trigger if() are 0, F, FALSE and "FALSE" they seem defined as exactly 0.
