Well the explanation can be fixed :)

Its hard to say whether the language would be better or worse if only 
'strict' numeric strings were considered equal. After all you'd still 
have that "1.00000" is "1" is "1.0" is ... which whilst more obvious 
perhaps, still means you have to work harder to do strict string 
equality checking (or comparison).

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
