but it's sort of like the difference between asking and telling. When you make an assertion you aren't wondering if it is perhaps true, you're saying it is. If you are willing to accept a little weirdness caused by constraints on what you can name a variable, I think this is an effective illustration:

>> 'closed source software' == 'slavery'
=> false
>> closed_source_software = 'slavery'
=> "slavery"
>> closed_source_software
=> "slavery"
>> closed_source_software == 'slavery'
=> true
