That isn't correct. It always returns true for the User model, but not for the AnonymousUser model (which is also in that file). This is because a User model instance is only created for an authenticated user by the auth application (if they aren't authenticated, an AnonymousUser instance is created). > I > thought this was odd and do not understand the rational.
