Note Submitter: dougnoel ---- Further response to Niels: It's not laziness, it's optimization. It saves CPUs cycles. However, it's good to know, as it allows you to optimize your code when writing. For example, when determining if someone has permissions to delete an object, you can do something like the following: if ($is_admin && $has_delete_permissions) If only an admin can have those permissions, there's no need to check for the permissions if the user is not an admin.
