I was once officially reprimanded for using Yoda conditionals. That was at the same place that required this:

  if( booleanVariable == true )
  {
      ...
  }
  else if( booleanVariable == false )
  {
      ...
  }
  else
  {
      // Typically, this section would include an exact copy
      // of one of the above sections, as it was 3 years ago,
      // presumably to pad out the SLoC metrics.
  }

That place had its head so far up its own ass....

Equivalence is commutative. Please never complain about the order of its operands as "confusing" or "less readable". It just tells me that you're an ass, trying to enforce a coding convention that has no objective reason to exist.
