I would argue the opposite - the use of "is" shows a clear knowledge that True and False are each a singleton and the author explicitly intended to use them that way.

I don't think you can infer that. It could equally well be someone who's

Or someone who's unfamiliar with booleans in general and thinks that
every "if" statement has to have a comparison in it.
