Not silly. Can you suggest any on-line that most JS developers can
understand discussing how these two forms differ?
Here are some that describe them as equivalent:

<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kw1tezhk%28v=vs.94%29.aspx>

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v7v91/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.vacpp7a.doc%2Flanguage%2Fref%2Fclrc08csor.htm
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173143.aspx
and so on across multiple languages. Whether or not you think these
forms should be different, programmers don't expect them to differ.
This is all beside the point, since the unbraced let as consequent of if
cannot make a useful binding (if you use comma-separated multiple
declarators, you still can't use any of the values that initialize the
bindings except in later useless-outside-the-single-declaration consequent).
