I understand. Personally, I am unable to bring myself to fathom why
writing this has any advantage:
if(condition) return false just avoids a negation in the

It's easier to miss a "!" entirely than to miss a "return false",
and personally, I've been finding it takes an extra brain cycle
to invert a condition anyway.
I like an individual line of code to be dumb as a rock anyway.
It's like when you see code like this (Ruby):
unless !foo
end
Double negation. Code like the snippet above can be really annoying.
