I think he's totally correct. Although you changed the mechanism to evaluate the conditional expression, you still try to do integer calculations / comparisons with string values which may not result in a syntax error, but is a logical one. Avoid that by following his/her advice "to put the quit-test before it".

Some shells (including sh and bash) interpret integers with leading zeroes as octal numbers, so 09 can't be evaluated. bash allows the base specification by adding e.g. a leading 10#.
