It's a language thing. Some languages use short-circuit evaluation, and some
don't (e.g. certainly standard pascal, and probably some versions of basic at
the very least). So a pascal user might say the same thing as you if we changed
it to use short-circuit evals.

Apart from that above I'm not commenting on whether or not it will be changed,
I'm simply pointing out that it's not as illogical as you seem to think.
