If I remember correctly, I was playing around with the old Watson
tutorial, which used "is equal to" all over the top 2/3 of the

laughed for nearly 5 minutes.
I'm still convinced that AppleScript was written by someone who
wanted to punish scripters by wearing their keyboards out with
excessively verbose junk like this (at least there's a
"workaround"), but maybe that's just my C showing. ;-)
The most natural Applescript way is to use neither "=" and the
repulsive option-equals that I see the list stripping all too often,
nor "is equal to", but simply "is and "is not".
