that is rather sparse quoting. The context was meant to imply that it 
shouldn't (in an ideal world with no memory and fresh teachers very year).

Not sure if the answer for an negated question should be yes or no. 
Anyway C logical operators don't evaluate terms on the right if the 
answer is already known. Perfectly sensible in a world without side effects.
At times like this I wish for a time machine and go back and shoot the 
moron that first used the 'short-circuit Boolean operators' expression. 
Mind you I am normally not an aggressive person.
