I also feel like the sentiment in [On the arbitrariness of truth(iness)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/on-the-arbitrariness-of-truth-iness/81381/56) applies here. And in much the same way Stefan concludes “Just say no to truthiness”, I would say “Just say no to (in)equality comparisons between numbers and collections of them.”
