These operators are "short-circuiting": as soon as `||` sees the first `TRUE` it returns `TRUE` without computing anything else. As soon as `&&` sees the first `FALSE` it returns `FALSE`. You should never use `|` or `&` in an `if` statement: these are vectorised operations that apply to multiple values. If you do have a logical vector, you can use `any()` or `all()` to collapse it to a single value. +You can enforce this more-strictly by using the `identical()` function, which returns either a single `TRUE` or a single `FALSE`.
