yep... I've kind of blogged about this a while back:

http://ajwelch.blogspot.com/2007/08/when-b-and-b-both-return-true.html

...but it still always catches me out.

The rule I mention there is "never use != where both sides are
sequences of more than one item" which is why I thought ". != x" would
be ok... but it looks like that should be:

"never use != where one side is a sequence of more than one item"
