Well look at it this way, lets say you want to put out a message saying that your install failed ... using that wussy way above it looks like this:

"The install failed" ?

Not very convincing coding if you ask me. It looks like the script is asking if the install failed. I mean, whats with that ?

No, here's the "manly" way of coding that:

? "The install failed"

Now your talking. Can't mistake that. The install failed! And if you don't like it, tough. Manly coding - not wussy coding.
